I'm trying to write a script to download an install Azure Service Fabric SDK, runtime and tools into a few servers.
My issue is that the installer provided here is a Web Installer, and does not support silent mode.
I found a guy that solved this issue here. His code:
# Install Service Fabric Runtime
Invoke-WebRequest "http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/2/1/3217654F-6882-4CEA-BD51-49287EDECE9B/MicrosoftServiceFabric.6.0.232.9494.exe" -OutFile "C:\ServiceFabricRuntime.exe" -UseBasicParsing; \
Start-Process "C:\ServiceFabricRuntime.exe" -ArgumentList '/AcceptEULA', '/QUIET' -NoNewWindow -Wait; \
rm "C:\ServiceFabricRuntime.exe"
# Install Service Fabric SDK
Invoke-WebRequest "http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/2/1/3217654F-6882-4CEA-BD51-49287EDECE9B/MicrosoftServiceFabricSDK.2.8.232.msi" -OutFile "C:\ServiceFabricSDK.msi" -UseBasicParsing; \
Start-Process "msiexec" -ArgumentList '/i', 'C:\ServiceFabricSDK.msi', '/passive', '/quiet', '/norestart', '/qn' -NoNewWindow -Wait; \
rm "C:\ServiceFabricSDK.msi"
As you can see, he's using direct links to the .msi installers (as well as other guys are doing in other threads like these two answers.).
So my questions is, how do i get a direct link to the msi with the latest version of these installers?
And the follow up question would be, is there a universal link that will automatically download the latest version of these tools?
Thanks in advance.
I know this is not exactly what you asked for but you can use Web Platform Installer Command Line to install WebPI products silently. The idea is to download WebPICMD and run installation of Service Fabric SDK from the cmd line. The powershell script can look like this:
Invoke-WebRequest "https://download.microsoft.com/download/C/F/F/CFF3A0B8-99D4-41A2-AE1A-496C08BEB904/WebPlatformInstaller_amd64_en-US.msi" -OutFile "C:\WebPlatformInstaller.msi" -UseBasicParsing;
Start-Process "msiexec" -ArgumentList '/i', 'C:\WebPlatformInstaller.msi', '/passive', '/quiet', '/norestart', '/qn' -NoNewWindow -Wait;
rm "C:\WebPlatformInstaller.msi"
WebPICMD.exe /Install /Products:MicrosoftAzure-ServiceFabric-CoreSDK /AcceptEULA
Product MicrosoftAzure-ServiceFabric-CoreSDK will install latest version of Service Fabric SDK and Service Fabric Runtime silently.
If you want to install something different from the WebPI run :
WebPICMD.exe /List /ListOption:All
This command will list all of the available products, just grab the id of the product and run install command.
More about WebPICMD here.
To add on the answer above, if WebPlatformCMD gives you Windows' UAC consent window issues, you can use PSEXEC tools to run the installer as system account, avoiding that problem.
Example code:
Invoke-WebRequest "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287166" -OutFile "$env:temp\WebPlatformInstaller_amd64_en-US.msi" -UseBasicParsing
Start-Process "msiexec" -ArgumentList "/i $env:temp\WebPlatformInstaller_amd64_en-US.msi /passive /quiet /norestart /qn" -NoNewWindow -Wait
$psToolsPath = "$env:temp\pstools"
New-Item $psToolsPath -ItemType directory -force -erroraction silentlycontinue
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://download.sysinternals.com/files/PSTools.zip -OutFile $psToolsPath\PSTools.zip
Expand-Archive "$psToolsPath\PSTools.zip" $psToolsPath -force
cd $psToolsPath
Start-Process psexec64 -ArgumentList "-s /accepteula WebPICMD.exe /Install /Products:MicrosoftAzure-ServiceFabric-CoreSDK /AcceptEULA"
Small note on SteppingRazor's answer above.
You can ease out the ArgumentList Parameter value like this:
Start-Process "msiexec" -ArgumentList "/i C:\WebPlatformInstaller.msi /passive /quiet /norestart /qn -NoNewWindow -Wait
Instead of
Start-Process "msiexec" -ArgumentList '/i', 'C:\WebPlatformInstaller.msi', '/passive', '/quiet', '/norestart', '/qn' -NoNewWindow -Wait;
Then using variables in the string is also easier.

trying to patch quicken with this script i think im missing a silent install command any suggestions would be great
$Path = $env:TEMP; $Installer = "Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.10.6-RELEASE.exe"; Invoke-WebRequest "https://assistant.quicken.com/patch/QW27.1.47.11MPatch.EXE" -OutFile $Path$Installer; Start-Process -FilePath $Path$Installer -Args "/silent /install" -Verb RunAs -Wait; Remove-Item $Path$Installer
when I run the script it fails (exceeding the timeout for completion I'm deploying it from PDQ inventory with admin credentials)
I tried this below command line to download and install CCleaner using PowerShell. But I got errors, it was a guess try, and I would appreciate if you could modify to a working command.
powershell.exe -Command "$Path = $env:TEMP; $Installer = 'ccsetup578.exe'; Invoke-WebRequest 'https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/standard' -OutFile $Path$Installer; Start-Process -FilePath $Path$Installer -Args '/silent /install' -Verb RunAs -Wait; Remove-Item $Path$Installer"
"https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/standard" - .html, not .exe
need
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://download.ccleaner.com/ccsetup578.exe" -OutFile "$env:Temp\ccsetup578.exe"
P.S. Ccleaner - placebo
Use C:\Windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe /LOWDisk
I am trying to automate the installation of gstreamer on windows using powershell
I have the msi file downloaded, and am installing it as shown below
PS C:\Users\Administrator> $path = "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\gstreamer-1.0-devel-mingw-x86_64-1.18.0.msi";
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $path -Argument "/qn"
However, this does not get me the complete installation, because it is only selecting the default arguments from the installer.
I need to specify for it to perform the complete installation, how can I modify my arguments? So that it selects "complete" installation and not "typical" like it does by default
These should work:
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $path -Argument "/qn","Complete=1"
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $path -Argument "/qn Complete=1"
I had the same problem, so I ran the Installer from power shell with and without the /qn argument and logged the process into two different files. Finally, I compared the result and I was able to find that for installing process using the UI it adds a property called INSTALLLEVEL, which is set to 1000 (don't know why this value yet). So, by adding the argument INSTALLLEVEL=1000 it installs the complete version.
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.20.2.msi -Argument "/qn INSTALLLEVEL=1000"
I had tried below but it did not work
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $path -Argument "/qn","Complete=1"
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath $path -Argument "/qn Complete=1"
While this is working fine for me.
Start-Process -Wait -FilePath gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.20.2.msi -Argument "/qn INSTALLLEVEL=1000"
I am using docker with powershell. I want to download and install webdeploy .msi
I am using the following code:
RUN Invoke-WebRequest http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/D/01DC28EA-638C-4A22-A57B-4CEF97755C6C/WebDeploy_x86_en-US.msi -OutFile webdeploy.msi; \
Start-Process msiexec -Wait -ArgumentList /q, /i, -PassThru, webdeploy.msi ; \
Remove-Item -Force webdeploy.msi
When I run:
docker build -t test.
Everything goes fine.
When I then check the folder "Program Files (x86)" inside the container I dont see any folder "IIS".
I also tried:
RUN Invoke-WebRequest http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/D/01DC28EA-638C-4A22-A57B-4CEF97755C6C/WebDeploy_x86_en-US.msi -OutFile webdeploy.msi; \
Start-Process msiexec -Wait -ArgumentList /q, /i, webdeploy.msi ; \
Remove-Item -Force webdeploy.msi
Some help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to automate the installation of AppFabric 1.1 on a Windows 2012 R2 server using PowerShell DSC. This is actually part of me trying to automate the SharePoint Foundation install and configuration, but AppFabric 1.1 is a pre-requisite. Below is a snippit from my DSC config script:
Script InstallSharePointPreRequisites
{
GetScript = { Return "InstallSharePointPreRequisites" }
TestScript = {$false}
SetScript = {
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi' -ArgumentList '/qn' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\setup_msipc_x64.msi' -ArgumentList '/qn' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\sqlncli.msi' -ArgumentList '/qn' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\Synchronization.msi' -ArgumentList '/qn' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\WcfDataServices.exe' -ArgumentList '/quiet' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\appfabric\setup.exe' -ArgumentList '/i cacheclient","cachingService","CacheAdmin /gac /l c:\temp\appfabric.log' -Wait | Write-verbose
Start-Process -FilePath 'c:\temp\SharePoint\pre\AppFabric1.1-RTM-KB2671763-x64-ENU.exe' -ArgumentList '/quiet' -Wait | Write-verbose
}
DependsOn = "[File]GetSharePointFiles"
}
I know....the "TestScript = $false" is bad form, but I'm just trying to get the install to run at this point. :)
Anyway, when the DSC run get to the appfabric\setup.exe it's throwing the following exception:
"{"Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."}"
When I run the Start-Process line from a normal PS prompt it installs fine and doesn't show a visible modal dialog box. I've also tried using the AppFabric setup EXE with similar switches with the same result. I'm sort of at a loss here. Has anyone else been able to install AppFabric 1.1 using PowerShell DSC? Or SharePoint Foundation 2013 for that matter? If so, how? I haven't been able to find good documentation on this scenario yet.
Thanks,

I solved this problem. First, there was a typo in my script. The app fabric setup line had CachAdmin rather than CacheAdmin (was missing the 'e' in cache). It took me some time and writing it a few more times to figure that out. After setting that, it is installing fine. Darn, old eyes and fat fingers... Thanks for looking. :)
