Run MsiExec from PowerShell and get Return Code
With BAT/CMD
script I can simply use "msiexec /i <whatever.msi> /quiet /norestart"
and t开发者_JAVA技巧hen check %errorlevel%
for the result.
With VBScript
, using the Wscript.Shell
object Run()
method, I can get the result like this:
"result = oShell.Run("msiexec /i ...", 1, True)"
How can I do this with PowerShell?
I would wrap that up in Start-Process and use the ExitCode property of the resulting process object. For example
(Start-Process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "<<whatever>>" -Wait -Passthru).ExitCode
$LastExitCode
or
$?
depending on what you're after. The former is an integer, the latter just a boolean. Furthermore, $LastExitCode
is only populated for native programs being run, while $?
generally tells whether the last command run was successful or not – so it will also be set for cmdlets.
PS Home:\> cmd /c "echo foo"; $?,$LASTEXITCODE
foo
True
0
PS Home:\> cmd /c "ech foo"; $?,$LASTEXITCODE
'ech' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
False
1
You can also use the powershell app deployment kit which provides several things.
Then you can use for example
Execute-MSI -Action 'Install' -Path "$dirFiles\your.msi" -AddParameters "INSTALLFOLDER=C:\$appFolder"
