MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"powershell": "Get-IntuneApp | Where-Object {$_.'@odata.type' -eq '#microsoft.graph.win32LobApp'} | Select-Object -Property displayName, installExperience, detectionRules"
}Refer to the exhibit. An administrator retrieves a list of Win32 apps. They notice that one app shows installExperience as 'system' and detectionRules as 'fileVersion' with version '1.0.0'. The app fails to install on some devices. The event viewer on a failing device shows 'The app was installed but detection rule did not match'. What is the most likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume the 'installExperience' setting (system vs. user) controls installation success, but the actual failure is caused by a mismatch between the detection rule's expected version and the actual installed version.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The detection rule expects version 1.0.0 but the installed version is different
The detection rule is configured to check for file version '1.0.0', but the installed version on the failing device does not match this value. When Intune deploys a Win32 app, it uses the detection rule to verify successful installation; if the rule does not match, the app is marked as failed even though the installation itself completed. This mismatch is the most likely cause of the event viewer message.
