You should be able to use a UNC path with Save-VcRedist
, e.g.:
Save-VcRedist -Path \\server\share\vcredist
Thanks for the reply - that allows me to download the installers to the unc....
How would I go about installing the Redists in \server\share?
If I try
$VcRedists = Get-VcList -Architecture x64
Install-VcRedist -VcList $VcRedists -Path \\server\share
I get
WARNING: Parameter 'Path' is obsolete. This parameter is not longer supported. The Path property must be on the object passed to -VcList
I've tried exporting the .json and pointing the -Path at that with no joy.
Thanks in advance!
$VcRedists = Get-VcList -Architecture x64 | Save-VcRedist -Path \\server\share
Install-VcRedist -VcList $VcRedists
Will this command try to resave the Redists each time a client runs the command? I just want the clients to install the redists that I have saved to the server share.
No, Save-VcRedist
won't redownload the file if it's already in the share, but it updates the output from Get-VcList
with the path to each installer.
Amazing, thank you.
It would be good if we could save the redists to a UNC file path root and then install/update any/all necessary redists within that UNC folder root.
Is that possible with the current tools by forcing any of the import functions and the install function?
Thanks in advance.
