Use of Display function to return a retrieved property

(imported topic written by smamm91)

Is there any documentation that details the proper use of the “display” function used to return a retrieved property value?

We’re building an analysis to find all the various versions of IBM or Sun JRE installed on the company’s Windows servers. We already have an analysis built to find the servers that have versions of JRE installed (< Version 6 Update 15). We’d now like to take it a step further and build a property that will display the version numbers installed on each server. I’ve been using qna and relevance debugger to troubleshoot the syntax of my statement, but haven’t found the correct format yet.

For example:

We want the value of “DisplayName” when the following relevance is true:

(exists value “DisplayVersion” whose ((it < " OR it < “1.6.0.15”) of keys whose (value “DisplayName” of it as string as lowercase contains “j2se runtime environment” OR value “DisplayName” of it as string as lowercase starts with “java™”) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of registry)
