Powerpoint Full Screen Mode - issue

The Toolkit General Discussion

My deployment script continues to run and nag users if Powerpoint 2016 is detected in full screen mode. The log file shows the detection, but I assumed the script should stop or wait? OS is Windows 10 x64. Help appreciated.

I’d try to add a if statement before the show-installationwelcome. Something like

If(Test-PowerPoint) {
exit-script -exitcode 1618
}

Unable to try it myself at the moment as I’m traveling. Unsure what Test-PowerPoint returns, so you might have to tweak that part a bit.

Cheers
