A PowerShell Automation Framework for Application Packaging with Passive/Silent Installations.
Today we have a new release of PassiveInstall, a free open-source PowerShell module that I wrote to aid in creating application installation wrappers.
The module targets activities often wanted when wrapping a vendor installer for either passive or silent installation mode, along with the variety of customizations typically wanted when repackaging applications. The cmdlets are mostly a convenience for the app packager – taking things that often take multiples lines of logic into a single simple cmlet that takes care of any of the dirty work and edge conditions.
Version 3 adds two new cmdlets that we need when repackaging applications using a tool that excludes the collection of firewall rules added by the installer, such as the Microsoft MSIX Packaging Tool.
I have a post describes the need and how it is used: https://www.tmurgent.com/TmBlog/?p=4164
