Custom Inventory Rule doesn't seem to be working

Do I have a glaringly obvious syntax error here? I'm not sure why this isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FileVersionGreaterThan(C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeClickToRun.exe,16) AND RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration, SharedComputerLicensing,1) AND RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration, Platform,x86)

EDIT: Here's what is showing up in the KAgent.txt file in the logs:
[2018-05-31.11:09:00][KDeploy:CDeployController::Execu] rule ID [55592] : issuing rule [FileVersionGreaterThan(C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeClickToRun.exe, 16) AND

RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration, SharedComputerLicensing, 1) AND

RegistryValueEquals(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration, Platform, x86);]
[2018-05-31.11:09:00][KDeploy:CDeployController::Execu] rule [55592] statement result: "", FALSE

EDIT 2: I expect this custom inventory rule to return "true", as in, "This software is installed" but it is not returning true. I'm using this in a managed installation, so once the software is installed it should show up in these three places. I have checked each rule manually and confirmed that each one evaluates to true, and I have even used each one individually instead of all three together, and they still don't work.

  • What do you expect it to return ? - AbhayR 5 years ago
    • True. The software is installed, and those keys/values/files exist if you look manually. - pbrandvold 5 years ago
  • What are you expecting to validate here?

    The syntax looks OK, How do you know is not working? - Channeler 5 years ago
    • I updated the question to reflect what I expect and why I know it's not working. - pbrandvold 5 years ago
  • All the queries are BOOLEAN (yes or no), so the result is only a count in the software item (for how many devices this is true) and you can check it in the software item directly (or a report querying this item)
    This will trigger no entry in the Custom Inventory section. - Nico_K 5 years ago
  • Try using HKLM instead of the full Hkey_local etc - Hobbsy 5 years ago
    • Mmmmmm , he may want to check this as well

      • This did the trick. - pbrandvold 5 years ago
      • This article helped me to sort my issue as well. - cbosi 3 years ago
  • I've had an open ticket for a few months now, as I have some CI rules that are just not populating the inventory of some systems. Hopefully I'll get it resolved, and I'll report back here of any resolution. - RD94 5 years ago
