Unfortunately it is the only place any registry keys are created for this software.
I cannot do an MSI detection as it is the same software version, just a minor change to a config file. I figured the best way for me to get around it, would be to look at a registry entry. If it exists move on, if it doesn’t then please install/reinstall the software. My end goal is I don’t want it to keep reinstalling. I just want it to install once. If the software installs again when another person logs in, that is fine for us. In our company users do not share machines, so that is a very rare case.

What happens when it goes to detect this when someone is logged off, or a different user is logged in? ----------------------------------------------- Adam Juelich Pulaski Community School District<http://www.pulaskischools.org> Client Management Specialist 920-822-6075 On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 10:09 AM, Kevin Johnston <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I have an Application that I have set the detection method to look for a specific key.

I would suspect that the machine that had the right key would just “move along” The key is an entry that the software creates once it is launched (HKCU\Software\company\folder\). Everyone in the company has this entry, but they will have a different key This is what my detection looks like: [cid:[email protected]] I cannot figure out why the detection is not working.
