Today I’d like to demonstrate a silent remote software installation with BatchPatch. We’ll deploy 7-zip to the computers in our lab. Once deployed, we’ll then go ahead and remotely uninstall it too.<\/p>\n

Remote Software Installation – Deploying 7-zip to remote computers<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Select the desired target host(s) in the BatchPatch grid, and then choose ‘Actions > Deploy > Create\/modify deployment’
    \n\"2015-10-12<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  2. In the ‘Deploy’ window, browse to the 7-zip installer that you previously downloaded from 7-zip.org. I did a google search to see what the silent installation parameter is for the 7-zip 32-bit .exe installer, and it’s just a \/S (case-sensitive). So, you can see in the ‘Deploy’ window screenshot above, I’ve browsed to the location of the 7z920.exe, and I’ve added the \/S parameter.\n<\/li>\n
  3. All we have to do is execute the deployment now by clicking the ‘Execute now’ button. BatchPatch prompts us to confirm the deployment. Click OK to proceed.
    \n    \"2015-10-12<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  4. A few seconds later the ‘All Messages’ column reports ‘Deployment: Exit Code: 0 (SUCCESS)<\/font>,’ and we’re all done! In the screenshow below I’ve expanded the ‘All Messages’ contents so that you can see exactly what BatchPatch did.

    Remote Software Installation – Uninstalling 7-zip from remote computers<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. For the removal \/ uninstallation, we don’t need to deploy any files to target computers. Instead we simply need to execute a command. In the case of a default installation, the 7-zip files will be stored in “C:\\Program Files\\7-zip.” Make sure you identify the correct directory in your environment. Then highlight the host and select ‘Actions > Execute remote process\/command > Create\/modify remote command.’
      \n      \"2015-10-12<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
    2. In the ‘Remote process\/command’ window, add the uninstallation command exactly as follows:\n\n
      "C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\Uninstall.exe" \/S<\/pre><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\n\n
      \"2015-10-12<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Click ‘Execute’ to initiate the uninstallation.  Then click ‘OK’ to confirm that you want to proceed.
      \n      \"2015-10-12<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
    4. After a few seconds we see ‘Remote Command: Exit Code: 0 (SUCCESS)<\/font>‘ to indicate that the command has been executed.  We can now check the target machine to confirm that the software has been removed.
