1715266 - Enterprise Installer SCCM Detection Method

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1505436

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Jakob]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

With most msi deployments, Microsoft's SCCM is able to verify the installation with the product code from the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall). In the case of the firefox msi, this verification failed.

Actual results:

Detection Method failed to verify installation even though the product was installed. This was corrected by using the firefox.exe file version as the detection method. This works, but when setting up a new deployment application, it is far more convenient for SCCM to automatically set the product code as the detection method.

Expected results:

Detection Method should have succeeded.

Hi Jakob,
Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a SCCM for organizational deployments to check this out personally. However, I will move it over to its component so the developers can check this out. Also, this sounds more like a bug rather than an enhancement.
