How to Revert to Previous Method of Discovering Installed Software

The Host Applications by WMI job discovers installed software that is installed using the WMI Windows Installer Provider.

If the software is not installed with the Windows Installer, you must use the previous mechanism to discover the software.

To revert to the previous discovery mechanism for this job:

Access the Host Resources and Applications by WMI adapter: Adapter Management > Host_Resources_By_WMI > Adapters > WMI_HR_All.
In the Adapter Definition tab, locate the Adapter Parameters pane.
Double-click the discoverInstalledSoftwareByOldMechanism parameter to change the default value from false to true.
Save the change.

A warning message is added to the communication log.
