SYNTAX¶
Import-VcMdtApplication [-VcList] <PSObject> [[-MdtPath] <String> [[-AppFolder] <String>]
[-Silent] [-DontHide] [-Force] [[-MdtDrive] <String>] [[-Publisher] <String>] [[-Language] <String>] [-WhatIf]
[-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Creates an application in a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit share for each Visual C++ Redistributable and includes properties such as target Silent command line, Platform and Uninstall key.
Use Get-VcList and Save-VcRedist to download the Redistributables and create the array for importing into MDT.
Applications will be imported into the MDT Deployment share with the default properties similar to the following:
Location: Applications\VcRedists Name: Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 x86 14.28.29913.0 Comments: Generated by Import-VcMdtApplication Short name: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 x86 Version: 14.28.29913.0 Publisher: Microsoft Language: en-US Source directory: .\Applications\Microsoft VcRedist\2019\14.28.29913.0\x86 Quiet install command: .\VC_redist.x86.exe /install /quiet /norestart Working directory: .\Applications\Microsoft VcRedist\2019\14.28.29913.0\x86 Uninstall registry key name: {03d1453c-7d5c-479c-afea-8482f406e036} Hide this application in the Deployment Wizard: Yes
EXAMPLES¶
EXAMPLE 1¶
Get-VcList | Save-VcRedist -Path C:\Temp\VcRedist | Import-VcMdtApplication -Path C:\Temp\VcRedist -MdtPath \\server\deployment
Description: Retrieves the list of Visual C++ Redistributables, downloads them to C:\Temp\VcRedist and imports each Redistributable into the MDT deployment share at \server\deployment.
EXAMPLE 2¶
$VcList = Get-VcList -ExportAll | Save-VcRedist -Path C:\Temp\VcRedist
Import-VcMdtApplication -VcList $VcList -MdtPath \\server\deployment -Bundle
Description: Retrieves the list of supported and unsupported Visual C++ Redistributables in the variable $VcList, downloads them to C:\Temp\VcRedist, imports each Redistributable into the MDT deployment share at \server\deployment and creates an application bundle.
