Is there a way to determine if a full version of Visual Studio is installed on a PC?
Current reporting tools we have give 'false positives' for any Visual Studio component, for example when SQL Client Tools are installed the VS Command Line is installed resulting in a flag for visual studio being installed.
Same goes for BIDS, which, as I understand it installs devenv.exe, so we can't detect on just that file's presence.
Our goal is to identify any PC that has 'Development Tools' and specifically in this case and PC that has the Visual Studio IDE installed.
Any ideas?
