Are you using packages or applications? Deployment Types are for Applications and the correct one to run will be determined by the client at execution time in this case based upon the xistence of a D drive or just a C drive. This will not result in anything duplicated in the catalog.

Also I don't want the user's to have know which to request. I was looking for a script or a wrapper that I could build logic into so when 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.....

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.

Non-standardization is the root of many/most issues in IT environments.

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!
