You could run some PowerShell

$driveexist = get-PsDrive | where-Object{$_.Name -like "d"}
if ($driveexist -ne $NULL) { do the install on the D drive}
else {do the install on the C: drive}

the user’s request software they don’t need to know if they have a partition.  
The “script” would look for a partition if it’s there it would install on the d 
drive, if not it would install on the C drive.

Maybe I’m not explaining what I am looking for very well…..

Use two deployment types and a requirement that detects whether the D drive is 
present then.

It was a cooperate standard we had to follow that was finally done away with.  
Unfortunately way to many machines to redo, they will have to be phased out 
slowly over time.  So for now we need to find a reasonable solution.

Honestly, get rid of the systems with 2 partitions – they are pointless and 
cause issues. Non-standardization is the root of many/most issues in IT 
environments.

Subject: [mssms] FW: Ideas on determining where to install software

Looking for some ideas.  We currently have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 in our 
environment.  Some of the Windows 8.1 have 2 partitions some do not.  Rather 
than package everything twice I would like to come up with a script or some 
type of logic to determine if the partition is present and depending on that 
where to install the software.    Any suggestions or does anyone have a script 
or something else I could look at to get some ideas?

Thank you!
