PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit Module

What is the PSADT Module

This is a fork of PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit and it was modified so it can be installed as a PowerShell module.

In order for the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit PowerShell module to load automatically when PowerShell is launched, you can copy the following code to the system PowerShell profile file located in C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\profile.ps1.

Tips and Tricks

You can use the cmdlet Show-HelpConsole or the alias Get-PSADTHelp to launch the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit help console.

All variables from AppDeployToolMain.ps1 are available for use once a cmdlet is executed. It should cover most of your needs to detect the system environment you're running your installation script from. Run Get-Variable to see the full list.

Examples

My intend for this module was to combine the power of PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit and the Evergreen module to create the perfect installation scripts for all your Windows applications. I will provide some examples in the future in this GitHub repo.

psadt's Issues

Update to 3.10.0

Hello Jonathan,

could you update the module to 3.10.0? Or how could I help you to do it? I'm not really good at github

Greetings Alexej
