How to detect if Windows Server AppFabric is installed

Here is a little PowerShell script that will tell you if Windows Server AppFabric is installed

edit 6/29 – thanks for the comments – this is a much cleaner script - Ron

 function IsWindowsServerAppFabricInstalled()
{
    if(Get-HotFix -Id "KB970622") {$true} else {$false}
}

  You should use "server side" filtering for better speed: function SearchKB($KBID) {    if (Get-WmiObject "Win32_QuickFixEngineering" -Filter "HotFixID='$KBID'") {        $true    } else {        $false    } }

  Or use the Get-HotFix cmdlet(PowerShell 2.0): if(Get-HotFix -Id $KBID) {$true} else {$false}
