Template CMD Script for App Installs

This is obviously bare-bones and will need to be modified to suit specific implementations.  There are dozens of ways to execute a software installation, including setup.exe files, extracting ZIP and other archive files, registering DLLs with REGSVR32, and the ugly-ass, vice-grip + screwdriver + duct tape approach where you manually build folder trees, copy files, register DLLs, add and modify registry keys and make or replace shortcuts.  Oh, the torture.

EDIT: Updated 7/30/2011 to include errorlevel 3010 (reboot pending)

MS Security Essentials vNext Silent Install

The new Microsoft Security Essentials is out in beta, and here's how to install it silently using a VBscript.  You still need to tweak it for UAC unless you adapt the command string for use within something else like ConfigMgr.  Enjoy…

const x86 = "mseinstall_en_us_x86.exe"
const x64 = "mseinstall_en_us_amd64.exe"

Function ScriptPath()
    ScriptPath = Replace(wscript.ScriptFullName, "\" & wscript.ScriptName, "")
End Function

Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FolderExists("c:\Program Files (x86)") Then
    cmd = x64
Else
    cmd = x86
End If

cmdpath = ScriptPath() & "\" & cmd

If fso.FileExists(cmdpath) Then
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    objShell.Run cmdpath & " /s /runwgacheck /o", 1, True
    Set objShell = Nothing
Else
    wscript.echo cmdpath & " not found"
End If

Set fso = Nothing

Windows 7 Clean Install using Upgrade Media

Just a slightly different spin to the post by Paul Thurrott about performing a clean install of Windows 7 using “upgrade” media without having to install XP or Vista first.  This just wraps the steps inside a .BAT script.  Make sure you read Paul’s article first or you’ll be lost.  Be sure to run this from a CMD console that was launched via “Run as Administrator” or it won’t work…
