Closed Unassigned: Apps not being blocked during install [90]

Love this toolkit, but I'm having an issue on our Terminal Servers (2008 R2). I'm trying to update Java and have the installer checking for "iexplore,chrome,java,jucheck", kill them, and block their execution. I see in the log file that it does create the HKLM entries. The programs are killed, but users just start their browser back up.

I know I've tested this on desktops and they are blocked for the duration of the install.

Is anyone else running into this?

Hi,

testing 3.5.0 and have noticed with the below line in my .ps1 it will not show the Restart dialog. It does show ok if no params are given.

...
Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -NoCountdown
...

I thought it might be the line 5163 below:
[switch]$NoCountdown = $false

and changed to:
[switch]$NoCountdown

but this didnt work.

New Post: Set-ExecutionPolicy from inside an already running script

If you don't have execution policy set for your company via group policy or if you did not specify the execution policy when you launched PowerShell from the command line, then the script will set the execution policy. It is there to catch those scenarios where people don't know or forget to set the execution policy when they launch PowerShell of if they simply prefer to have the call made in the script. Also, it will not cause any problems if you set the execution policy at multiple points of the process.

Hi,

If the script is running then the set-execution Policy is correctly set. Right? Once the script is start, I would think the set-execution Policy is not need?!
Or it is use for the try?

Thanks,

Hi,
  1. What is the signification of : If ($deploymentType -ine 'Uninstall')?
    ne mean not equal but ine?? I found no reference about "ine".
  2. I was looking to the script and found you are using a lot of if else if. Why not using a switch? Would not it be cleaner?
Thanks,

No, the script can run without the execution policy being set. The execution policy must be set before you take any actions in the script. That's why it must be the first thing you do in your script. the try is needed because you can't modify the execution policy if is already set via GPO by your organization. It will throw an error if you try to modify the execution policy when a GPO is in effect.

The PowerShell comparison operators such as -ne are case-insensitive by default. But if you want to explicitly specify case-insensitivity, you can add an "i" in front of any of them. If you wanted to do a case-sensitive comparison, you can add a "c" in front of the operator such as "-cne" and that would force case sensitivity.

Switch or if/else doesn't really matter. I guess it's a matter of style/choice.

Do you have a reference about the "i"?

You are right, if is a matter of choice/style.

Commented Unassigned: OS architecture detection $is64Bit [102]

November 24, 2014, 3:07 am

Hi guys,

I noticed the toolkit has a built-in variable $is64Bit for OS architecture detection.
The function behind it is:
$is64Bit = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem -ea 0).OSArchitecture -eq '64-bit'

I ran into a problem when the script didn't correctly detect the architecture. I ran the code manual on our installations and found the cause was language and OS depended.

The results of Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).OSArchitecture were:
64-bits
64 bits
64-bit
...
(taken from Dutch W7, W8.1 and English W8)

Suggestion:
$is64Bit = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem -ea 0).OSArchitecture -Match '64'


Location of the code:
AppDeployToolkitMain.PS1
line 213

Comments: I checked on my machines with code: [boolean]$Is64Bit = [boolean]((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor | Where-Object { $_.DeviceID -eq 'CPU0' } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty AddressWidth) -eq '64') The result is the correct True & False on the different setups. Thanks for the fast response!

Commented Unassigned: Execute-Process not filling StdOut [101]

Hello,

Thanks for your work.

I encounter a problem with Execute-Process in PassThrough mode, it does not fill the StdOut result.
To my understanding this is due to using the Async form of retrieval for stdout, whereas using the sync form will work (as it is used for stderr).

In my case I solved this by changing this line (modified version below):

If ($NoWait) {
Write-Log "NoWait parameter specified. Continuing without checking exit code..."
}
Else {
----> $stdOut = $process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() -replace "`0","" # `0 = Null
$stdErr = $process.StandardError.ReadToEnd() -replace "`0","" # `0 = Null

$processName = $process.ProcessName

Comments: Hello, I have made a quick test and the new version works perfectly for me. Thank you very much ! Michel

Hey All,
Hoping to find someone with some experience using PSAppDeploy Toolkit. i am trying to deploy a program out using some specific switches and no matter what i try it just errors out. would anyone be able to assist me in converting this to the powershell command for use in the Appdeploy toolkit? using standard MSI Exec:

msiexec /qb /L*v "c:\imagenow.log" /i "ClientSetup.msi" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\ImageNow" ADDLOCAL=ImageNowClient,Pixtran,Accusoft,SystemFiles,LeadTools,OneDirectory,ImageNowPrinter IN_PROFILENAME=DefaultProfile IN_SERVER_NAME=imagenow.server.com IN_PORT_NO=6000 STARTMENUICON=Yes DESKTOPICON=Yes QUICKLAUNCHICON=Yes REMOVEOLDVERSIONS=Yes

Also this is a 32 bit application, should i be using %ProgramFiles%\ImageNow?

Error Below:

'ContinueOnError'. Cannot convert value "System.String" to type "System.Boolean". Boolean parameters accept only Boolean values and numbers, such as $True, $False, 1 or 0. (at <ScriptBlock>, C:\Users\jaskel\Desktop\ImageNow - PSApp Deploy\Deploy-Application.ps1: line 96)
