Deployment Notes

Key facts to confirm before rolling this out to production machines — permissions required, scope of install, and reboot behavior.

Detection Rules

Configure your deployment tool with the detection rule below to confirm a successful install of Ant Commander Pro. The same rule work for Microsoft Intune, SCCM, PDQ Deploy, and most RMM platforms — just paste the values into the matching fields.

Registry detection

PowerShell detection script

Prefer a script-based check? Use this as a custom detection script in Microsoft Intune (or any tool that supports detection scripts). It exits 0 when Ant Commander Pro is detected and 1 otherwise.

$Key = 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Ant Commander Pro_is1'
$Value = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $Key -Name 'DisplayVersion' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).'DisplayVersion'
if ($Value -eq '5.6') { exit 0 }
exit 1
