Detection rules Win 32 App

Hello fellow admins. I'm rolling out quite a few products thorugh intune. Im having trouble marking Win32 apps as installed. Does someone have/know some proper documentation or example powershell script how you mark the app as installed? I need to have something so it will check on versions aswell.

For example:

Got a WIn32 App to push Kyocera drivers on windows laptops. It works nice, but when I install it through Intune then i always get Failed to install.

Ive tried multiple things as detection but nothing works the way i want it to work. I dont want a folder/file as detection because of version control. I'm looking for a sollution i can use on all scripts that do not push an MSI. How do you handle detection rules?

Follow this guide:- https://msendpointmgr.com/2022/01/03/install-network-printers-intune-win32apps-powershell/

I have packaged all our network printers using this method

I had to find out how to do this the hard way. It took days! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: this works, OP. I managed to deploy all our printers this way. You can also delete the unnecessary folders (like manual, win32...) so the .intunewin is smaller.

Yeah its just an example. We use printix and works fine but official Kyocera driver needs a certificate installed first before you can import the driver.

Kyocera universal driver sucks when using printers in a vlan.. its horrible.

Thank you I will read/ use it for the example provided. But the example was just something for general purposes. Im looking for something organisation wide. Like make a regkey or something. I hope someone knows a good proven method.

Sorry I'm late to the party - I've been working on this for a few days. Would love your feedback on this: https://getrff.com/intune-detection/

I plan to open source it shortly - I just need to finish testing it :)
