Remotely and Silently Install A Windows MSI Via PowerShell Using msiexec.exe



where /S instructs the installer to install silently, name is the name of the machine that will appear in the Access tab, and server url is the complete URL of the SimpleHelp server to register with. For example, the command:




Remotely and Silently Install A Windows MSI Via PowerShell



The Remote Access Service can be silently uninstalled and removed from a system by passing in the uninstall parameter to any Remote Access Service installer or executable on the remote machine. For example, the command:


There are two main Windows installer package formats: EXE and MSI. Depending on the format, the way to install the application silently will differ and in some cases, you will not be able to silently install an application at all.


Besides MSI and EXE, the newest format that Microsoft released, is the MSIX which is automatically installed silently when it is integrated into deployment tools such as Configuration Manager or Endpoint Manager.

Team admins can silently install the Dropbox desktop application on all team member computers at once using the enterprise installer method. Dropbox Business team admins can run the installer remotely with a managed-software solution or deployment mechanism.


As far as I know, the patch cannot be installed with native powershell, means we have to address the wusa.exe in powershell. Of course Powershell is a nice way to automate the whole process.In the following example, the patch is copied from a UNC share and installed locally.


There are of course several ready-made scripts to install multiple patches on multiple computers. The script which I use in the company environment, I have inserted below. The code does not come from me, but from the following forum post: -silently-install-patches-remotely-and-reboot?page=1#entry-7246666


During installation, you are prompted for a product key followed by the activation wizard. If you exit the program before completing activation or registration or are installing silently, start the Terminal application, and then run the following commands:


It is important to stay up to date on new releases, as they provide users with valuable features and fixes. When installed using the machine-wide installer, Slack does not auto-update. In order to stay current with new Slack releases, we have provided an RSS feed to notify you of new Windows Slack Desktop App updates: -notes/windows/rss.


As constructed it reads a txt file containing computer names and attempts to ping each machine. If the ping is successful, it copies the contents of c:\Install from the source computer to c:\install on the target machine. Once the copy is complete it tests that the install package is present in the correct directory on the target (in my case the Adobe Reader DC offline installer). Once the file is confirmed on the target it launches the installation silently with no reboot or user interaction required.


All software management product (Group policy software installation, SCCM, PDQ Deploy, etc.) can install ScreenConnect silently and remotely. Heck I just deployed it to my entire client base using remote commands in Nagios.


I strongly DISAGREE with ScreenConnect fumbling around trying to add "deployment" capabilities to their software. You see this in countless "enterprise" antivirus products that try to add features to "scan" the network and find your PCs to remotely install their agent via some sort of control panel that they provide. It's almost always error-prone and convoluted, it bloats the software and muddies the water because now you're using more than one tool to deploy software in your organization. That's awful.


ScreenConnect is a remote assistance / remote control product. It's lean and clean. Their responsibility should be to ensure that their software can be installed silently and unattended with all the various options configurable, and then it is up to you to use whatever software management product you like to deploy the software into your organization.


Perhaps you have the need for an automated installation of VisualCron on different servers. Since the VisualCron installation is based on MSI you can use already existing Windows tools to perform the installation silently and remotely. You are also able to control where you want to install (installation folder) and if you want to install both the Client and the Server package or just the Client.

I am building a script to remotely install the PSWindowsUpdate PowerShell module, open the correct firewall ports, and then run a command to install waiting updates. In order to install the PSWindowsUpdate module, I need to install an MSI on some of my machines to enable the "Install-Module" commandlet.


You can use command line options to install Dameware Remote Support or Dameware Mini Remote Control. A command line installation is useful when you do not have administrator permissions to the target computer, and want to install the application silently.


To use the GetADComputer cmdlet, the Active Directory PowerShell module must be installed on your device. $ADComputers = Get-ADComputer -Filter 'operatingsystem -like "*Windows 10*" -and enabled -eq "true"'ForEach ($computer in $ADcomputers) Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer iex "& $(irm -powershell.ps1) -UseMSI -Quiet"


The ESET Management Agent can also be installed using Live Installer, deployed remotely or installed manually (a local installation of the ESET Management Agent only). Click for more options to Deploy the ESET Management Agent (7.x)


Thanks to the relay server connectivity, LsAgent can even scan computers outside of your network and over the internet. LsAgent can be visibly or silently installed on Windows, Linux and Mac computers. When LsAgent's been installed on a computer, it automatically starts scanning the machine once per day. Scanning schedules can be customized further through the Lansweeper web console.


I'm trying to silently install ArcGIS Pro on my computer, prepping to install on 100+ remote computers.Could someone by chance tell me where I'm going wrong in my code? If I run it in powershell alone, it doesn't install and immediately says the file path to the authorization doesn't exist, which is obvious because ArcGIS didn't install. If I run it through a batch file, it takes the amount of time it should to install, but it doesn't install and it says that it can't find the authorization file path... I've probably spent 3-4 hours on google and on here looking through and trying different methods and I can't get it to work. This is the closest I've gotten to it working, I think:


You can use command line syntax to install a Windows agent or probe. A silent install is a non-intrusive method of installing the agent software on devices. That is, there are no messages or windows displayed to the user during the installation. This also ensures that the correct settings are applied to all devices.


What you can try is to add the command line parameter /rcu to your installation. This should cleanup any older client as well as older settings. This way you would not have to do any uninstall->reboot->new install->reboot (reference: -us/citrix-workspace-app-for-windows/install.html).


This section describes how to install the agent silently without joining the computer to a zone. This procedure includes configuring registry settings manually using the registry editor or a third-party tool.


Does anyone know what the commands to silently and remotely uninstall LF would be? I am able to get it installed, but uninstalling is an issue. I am trying to use PDQ, but I'm sure it'd be similar for other programs as well. 2ff7e9595c
