Hello all, I was wondering if there's an easy way to check (through the command line) if a certain software is installed. I believe that it's possible to change the installer script in such a way that it could query the machine for installed software so that it could add or not tasks to the todo.pl. With that working, it would rather easy to set up a scheduled task in the client to re-check if all the software appointed for it is in fact installed or not, proceeding to it's installation in case anything is missing. Of course in every successfull software installation, the respective software entry for the client would be marked as installed in the database and therefor ignored in the next check. I once used this approach to manage software in linux machines and it worked rather well. Do anyone know of any add-on to unattended that provides this functionality? If not, do you think i'm dreaming too high in thinking it's be easy to extend unattended to this point?
