Parameter to override the detection rule for MSI Apps

[mdurini-swisscom]

Hello, it will be nice to have a way to override the detection rule for MSI packages and use the PS1 script that will trigger winget.
Example:
QGIS (LTR) version 3.34.11 is detected via the MSI GUID {2E491153-6DE8-1014-B1AD-80E86991EB54} Yaml
QGIS (LTR) version 3.34.13 is detected via the MSI GUID {74099260-73D2-1014-9651-EB8AAAF49CFA} Yaml

If I created the QGIS package in Intune for version 3.34.11, using Romanitho Winget-AutoUpdate and including QGIS, the package will be update in the client uninstalling the old version, but it will be reinstalled because the detection rule will not find it

Notepad++ package created with wintuner is using the ps1 script approach that will not trigger the reinstallation

I don't understand the question, can you explain a bit more?

Is the question:

1. I want to be able to create a script for MSI installers that just does winget install ....
2. In winget they registered the wrong MSI productcode and I want to override it
3. Something else

sorry, i explained it in the wrong way
it will be nice to have a parameter for the PS Command New-WtWingetPackage to force the detection rule to use the custom detection script that trigger winget (like with notepad++) instead of the MSI product code.

Winget detection is not working most of the time and is slow. I was planning to remove it eventually.

Thinking I'm going to install all apps with a Powershell script that adds a custom registry key and make the detection to check for that registry key.

[mdurini-swisscom]

the benefit of the winget detect is that it could be version agnostic. the registry key approach will work checking the exit code of the installer to guarantee the installation

What if I'll just start generating the detection script and then when deploying you can add a switch that you want to detection script instead of the msi detection?

this could be the right approach....another side effect of the winget detect is that OOO windows 11 winget version is outdated, but I got it solved upgrading it in that way

Improve ps1 detection script to correctly parse winget output
