The SMS_TaskSequence_SoftwareConditionExpression Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that represents a condition expression to verify if a specified product is installed on the destination computer.

{
      String Operator;
      String ProductCode;
      String ProductName;
      String UpgradeCode;
};
