Issue with Rel4 of Deploy WAIK of OS Deployment site

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Relevance 4:

disjunction of (exists keys “{23170F69-40C1-2701-0920-000001000000}” whose ( value “DisplayVersion” of it as string as version >= “9.20.00.0” as version AND value “Language” of it as string = “1033”) of keys “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of ( x32 registry; (if exists x64 registry then x64 registry else nothing) ))

The GUID for 7zip on my machine is not {23170F69-40C1-2701-0920-000001000000} but is {23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000} so this does not show up as relevant when it should.

Suggestion:

disjunction of (exists keys whose (value “DisplayName” of it as string as lowercase contains “7-Zip” as lowercase AND value “DisplayVersion” of it as string as version >= “9.20.00.0” as version AND value “Language” of it as string = “1033”) of keys “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of ( x32 registry; (if exists x64 registry then x64 registry else nothing) ))

Thanks for notifying us about this. We’ll work on this soon and get it fixed.

What version of 7-zip do you have? I assume this was installed manually and not through our fixlet?

(imported comment written by SystemAdmin)

7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)

9.20.00.0

This was either downloaded directly from the 7 zip website, installed through http://ninite.com/ or installed through a task/fixlet created by me, or one created by our central BigFix/TEM Admins. I think it was from the 7 zip website but I cannot say for certain.

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920-x64.msi

The Deploy WAIK should be relevant on many machines, but it is not.

We’ve updated the content for this fixlet and others for deploying 7-zip and deploying MDT Bundle Creator. Please give version 10 of the site a spin. Your suggested relevance is spot on for one of the changes made. Numerous other changes were made to ensure working with differing versions of 7-Zip as well as detecting bad installations. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

I am curious, why assert that the version of 7zip installed is English language? (value “Language” of it as string = “1033”)

Does this really matter, especially when using it through a command line interface?

I’m actually not too sure about that. I would need to check with who originally wrote the relevance, but it does not appear to matter either way since on any language it is set to English. If found not to be the case, we’ll remove that check since it appears unnecessary to me as well.
