Inventory of software is always fun to do.
I found myself wanting to do an inventory of the versions of Flash that were installed on all systems, so I went to my favorite tool: PowerShell.
When you install Flash at the default location,you can query the version of the file.
With this in mind, I wrote the following function:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
function Get-FlashVersion { [CmdletBinding()] param( [parameter(mandatory=$false,position=0,valuefrompipelinebypropertyname=$true)]$ComputerName=$env:ComputerName ) begin { } process { if(Test-Connection $Computername -count 1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { $filename = "\\$ComputerName\c$\windows\system32\macromed\flash\flash*.ocx" if(Test-Path $filename) { $file = Get-Item $filename $version = $file.versionInfo.fileversion -replace ",","." } else { $version = "Not Installed" } } else { $Version = 'Offline' } New-Object -TypeName PSObject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'ComputerName' -Value $ComputerName -PassThru | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'FlashVersion' -Value $version -PassThru } } |
