This contains all the default configurations which will be used for all deployments. The toolkit folder has a file called AppDeployToolkitConfig.xml. Toolkit Configurationīut first, we want to look into some of the configurations options of the toolkit. In this post, we want to look at a more complete example of using the toolkit to save time and effort creating deployment scripts. AppDeployToolkit/AppDeployToolkitHelp.ps1ĭownload Deploy-Application-HTA as a complete demo emulating an Adobe Acrobat 2019 installation.When we last looked at the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, we looked as a simple example of installing Visual C++ Runtime, which does not show the power of using the toolkit. If in doubt, check out the extensive documentation online or use the built in help by running the. One specifying what applications to close (no trailing blanks allowed) and one just containing a string with a time estimate – Note however that I added two variables at the top. + of course the install/uninstall commands. – If the PC is locked (inactive), install exits with a code 1618 (SCCM fast retry) How to…Īll you need is to edit the Deploy-Application.ps1 as usual. – If no-one is logged on the installation continues unattended The HTA (shown at the top above) will only display if a user is active! The HTAs are called through a function messageToUser with parameters as string (simple and works). Another is the control over what happens when. When the installation ends it will show another HTA:Īnd of course there are ones for unistalling and when an error occurs… The control logic. The above version is dual language but it’s simple to change, along with Icon and company logo, fonts etc. Program name and version, the programs that need to be closed and the estimated installation time is automatically passed to the HTA’s from Deploy-Application.ps1 I have therefore built a HTA message environment into (onto) the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit. When one or more programs suddenly shut down. totally take the user with surprise – “I did NOT get ANY message!!!!”
fail miserably because other programs are open, orĢ. However, the very intrusive programs like Acrobat Pro and others, needing Outlook etc to be closed to install, will eitherġ. We all know it can be tiresome to install applications on user PC’s.Īnd many of you, I’m sure, has found relief in “ Deploy-Application.exe” – the simply brilliant PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, – making it possible to utilize a very advanced Powershell for deploying applications.
