Script - Get-SoftwareInfo

There will be times that you will only have the option to use a exe and not a MSI to build an application. Normally that's not a problem but then halfway through building the application you realizes you have no idea what to use for a detection method since when you use a MSI SCCM will import that information for you. That is where this script is very handy for a SCCM admin what I do is install the software manually then run this script to get the Software ID number since that is one of the cleanest ways for SCCM to detect an application.
