Our clients have diffrent software that has to sit on the server for installation. Is there a way for immybot to look at the shared drive location and install?
For me I’ve been installing custom software 3 ways
- Single file .exe and msi file, pretty easy. I just made a basic script and parameter to add my arguments on the deployment screen
- Script to download the file or files from either a website to a temp folder then run the install commands. Again using parameters to define the URL and Arguments (this is a WIP)
- Using 7zip sfx files to package all the files together along with a powershell script to do the install. In immybot use a standard script to run the sfx package
I don’t install things from the servers due to security. Installing things at the system level won’t have access to the servers (or at least shouldn’t ) and I want the setup to be as hands off as possible.
I didn’t realize Immybot will handle zip files. Uploading a zip file will then give you the information about what it does.
So instead of using 7zip sfx packages. I’m now trying to just do a simple zip file with the files and the installer script as in most cases it’s multiple MSI files to be installed and I don’t want to create new immy scripts for every instance
