Function Install-VcRedist { <# .SYNOPSIS Installs the Visual C++ Redistributables. .DESCRIPTION Installs the Visual C++ Redistributables from a list created by Get-VcList and downloaded locally with Get-VcRedist. .OUTPUTS System.Array .NOTES Author: Aaron Parker Twitter: @stealthpuppy .LINK https://github.com/aaronparker/Install-VisualCRedistributables .PARAMETER VcList An array containing details of the Visual C++ Redistributables from Get-VcList. .PARAMETER Path A folder containing the downloaded Visual C++ Redistributables. .PARAMETER Release Specifies the release (or version) of the redistributables to download or install. .PARAMETER Architecture Specifies the processor architecture to download or install. .PARAMETER Silent Perform a completely silent install of the VcRedist with no UI. The default install is passive. .EXAMPLE Install-VcRedist -VcList $VcRedists -Path C:\Temp\VcRedists Description: Installs the Visual C++ Redistributables listed in $VcRedists and downloaded to C:\Temp\VcRedists. .EXAMPLE Install-VcRedist -VcList $VcRedists -Path C:\Temp\VcRedists -Release "2012","2013",2017" -Architecture x64 Description: Installs only the 64-bit 2012, 2013 and 2017 Visual C++ Redistributables listed in $VcRedists and downloaded to C:\Temp\VcRedists. .EXAMPLE Install-VcRedist -VcList $VcRedists -Path C:\Temp\VcRedists -Silent Description: Installs all supported Visual C++ Redistributables using a completely silent install. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $True)] [OutputType([Array])] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, Position = 0, ` HelpMessage = "An array containing details of the Visual C++ Redistributables from Get-VcList.")] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [array] $VcList, [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, Position = 1, ` HelpMessage = "A folder containing the downloaded Visual C++ Redistributables.")] [ValidateScript( {If (Test-Path $_ -PathType 'Container') { $True } Else { Throw "Cannot find path $_" } })] [string] $Path, [Parameter(Mandatory = $False, HelpMessage = "Specify the version of the Redistributables to install.")] [ValidateSet('2005', '2008', '2010', '2012', '2013', '2015', '2017')] [string[]] $Release = @("2008", "2010", "2012", "2013", "2017"), [Parameter(Mandatory = $False, HelpMessage = "Specify the processor architecture/s to install.")] [ValidateSet('x86', 'x64')] [string[]] $Architecture = @("x86", "x64"), [Parameter(Mandatory = $False, HelpMessage = "Perform a silent install of the VcRedist.")] [switch] $Silent ) # Begin { # Get script elevation status [bool]$Elevated = ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator") If (!($Elevated)) { Throw "Installing the Visual C++ Redistributables requires elevation." } # Get currently installed VcRedist versions $currentInstalled = Get-InstalledVcRedist # Filter release and architecture Write-Verbose "Filtering releases for platform and architecture." $filteredVcList = $VcList | Where-Object { $Release -contains $_.Release } | Where-Object { $Architecture -contains $_.Architecture } ForEach ($vc in $filteredVcList) { If ($currentInstalled | Where-Object { $vc.ProductCode -contains $_.ProductCode }) { Write-Verbose "Already installed: [$($vc.Architecture)]$($vc.Name)" } Else { # Avoid installing 64-bit Redistributable on x86 Windows If ((Get-Bitness -Architecture 'x86') -and ($vc.Architecture -eq 'x64')) { Write-Verbose "Incompatible architecture: [$($vc.Architecture)]$($vc.Name)" } Else { # Construct variables $folder = Join-Path (Join-Path (Join-Path $(Resolve-Path -Path $Path) $vc.Release) $vc.Architecture) $vc.ShortName $filename = Join-Path $folder $(Split-Path -Path $vc.Download -Leaf) Write-Verbose "Install: [$($vc.Architecture)]$($vc.Name)" If (Test-Path -Path $filename) { If ($pscmdlet.ShouldProcess("$filename $($vc.Install)'", "Install")) { If ($Silent) { Start-Process -FilePath $filename -ArgumentList $vc.SilentInstall -Wait } Else { Start-Process -FilePath $filename -ArgumentList $vc.Install -Wait } } } Else { Write-Error "Cannot find: $filename" } } } } # Get the imported Visual C++ Redistributables applications to return on the pipeline Write-Output (Get-InstalledVcRedist) } |
