SCCM is not detecting installed applications
I created an application to deploy Google Chrome, the problem is that after successfully installing Chrome, it is not detected by the SCCM client so it still shows up as available in Software Center and does not appear in the installed application tab in Software Center. It not alone either, so far Office 365, Visio 2016, Microsoft Teams and Notepad++ all do not work.
Initially I left the detect application set to the default that the MSI set it to when I initially deployed the application. When that didn't work I changed it to a different registry key, then I changed it to detecting Chrome.exe of version xxx, then I changed it to does Chrome.exe exist after each successive one failed.
After each change I Update Content in the SCCM console under deployment type, waited 10 minutes, Ran the Machine Policy task on the client, waited 10 minutes, ran the Application Deployment Evaluation task, waited for 10 minutes.
I followed all those steps above for Office 365, Visio 2016 and Notepad++ as well. I also deleted the Chrome application as redeployed it. No change.
Any thoughts? And what log file could I look to, to see that the application detection sequence looks like to try an detect what it is I am doing wrong. Or what is preventing the client from detecting the applications?
Check this log: AppDiscovery.log
Chrome.exe path is located under: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application. Did you check the path?
Bigair-Mifi I did and its there. I've also tried %programfiles(x86)% and neither work. I'll check the log file and see if it can provide any insight.
We use the product code for detection: {E57F8E37-C7DB-3CF8-82E4-98423E05EF63} . Check yours that you want to deploy.
This is plain and simple. Maybe you add the printscreen of the detection rule you use so we can help?
Good luck!
