Exactly. I'm trying to find all the computers that do not have this patch
installed so I can install it. Not all computers that have it for it from CM
either. I think I'm going to try what Sherry suggested. Thanks for input
everyone.

Nevermind, I see you are looking to create a collection - likely to target the
advert at!

Ah, there you go. Just check the status message from the
package/program/advertisement. It should get you close, as long as the install
actually returns a legitimate execution result and doesn't just exit with 0 for
everything. I have seen some installers or wrappers that do just that. Failed -
exit with success. Makes things interesting!

"This includes updates installed using enterprise management systems like
WSUS<http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/add.aspx?WikiParentPageID=4197&WikiPageKey=WSUS>
or
ConfigMgr<http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/28576.configmgr.aspx>
but excludes any updates installed manually or using custom management
scripts."
This particular app is updated using a package and program to install an msp,
not via software updates. It doesn't show up in these results. And yes, it's a
HORRIBLY written piece of software!

Is there a key for it under

The e-mail below is from an external source. Please do not open attachments or
click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.
I have an application that, when updated, does not change its version number or
anything else easily identifiable. It does however list the update as being
installed in the "Installed updates" portion of add/remove programs. I can't
seem to recall where that info is stored. Anyone know? The MS updates are in QF
Engineering but not the third party ones.
