Install-ChocolateyIsoPackage

NOTE: Administrative Access Required.

Installs software into “Programs and Features” based on a remote ISO file download. Use Install-ChocolateyIsoInstallPackage when using a local or embedded file.

Syntax

Install-ChocolateyIsoPackage `
  -PackageName <String> `
  -Url <String> `
  [-FileType <String>] `
  [-SilentArgs <String[]>] `
  [-ValidExitCodes <Object>] `
  [-Checksum <String>] `
  [-ChecksumType <String>] `

  [-IgnoredArguments <Object[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

This will download an ISO file from an URL, mounts it and executes the specified native installer. Has error handling built in. If you are embedding the file(s) directly in the package (or do not need to download a file first), use Install-ChocolateyIsoInstallPackage instead.

Notes

This command will assert UAC/Admin privileges on the machine.

It will download the ISO file to the ‘IsoCache’ folder, if it is not already there. This will prevent downloading the same ISO file over and over again. This function can be disabled on a per package base by setting the ‘NoCache’ parameter to $true

This is a wrapper around several existing Chocolatey commandlets.

Parameters

-PackageName <String>

The name of the package - while this is an arbitrary value, it’s recommended that it matches the package id.

Property	Value
Aliases
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-Url <String>

This is the url to download the resource from.

Prefer HTTPS when available. Can be HTTP, FTP, or File URIs.

Property	Value
Aliases
Required?	true
Position?	2
Default Value
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-FileType [<String>]

This is the extension of the file. This can be ‘exe’, ‘msi’, or ‘msu’. Licensed editions of Chocolatey use this to automatically determine silent arguments. If this is not provided, Chocolatey will automatically determine this using the downloaded file’s extension.

Property	Value
Aliases	installerType, installType
Required?	false
Position?	3
Default Value	exe
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-SilentArgs [<String[]>]

OPTIONAL - These are the parameters to pass to the native installer, including any arguments to make the installer silent/unattended. Licensed editions of Chocolatey will automatically determine the installer type and merge the arguments with what is provided here.

Try any of the to get the silent (unattended) installer - /s /S /q /Q /quiet /silent /SILENT /VERYSILENT. With msi it is always /quiet. Please pass it in still but it will be overridden by Chocolatey to /quiet. If you don’t pass anything it could invoke the installer with out any arguments. That means a nonsilent installer.

Please include the notSilent tag in your Chocolatey package if you are not setting up a silent/unattended package. Please note that if you are submitting to the community repository, it is nearly a requirement for the package to be completely unattended.

When you are using this with an MSI, it will set up the arguments as follows: "C:\Full\Path\To\msiexec.exe" /i "$downloadedFileFullPath" $silentArgs, where $downloadedfileFullPath is $url or $url64, depending on what has been decided to be used.

When you use this with MSU, it is similar to MSI above in that it finds the right executable to run.

When you use this with executable installers, the $downloadedFileFullPath will also be $url/$url64 SilentArgs is everything you call against that file, as in "$fileFullPath" $silentArgs". An example would be "c:\path\setup.exe" /S, where $downloadedfileFullPath = "c:\path\setup.exe" and $silentArgs = "/S".

Property	Value
Aliases
Required?	false
Position?	4
Default Value
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-ValidExitCodes [<Object>]

Array of exit codes indicating success. Defaults to @(0).

Property	Value
Aliases
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	@(0)
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-Checksum [<String>]

The checksum hash value of the Url resource. This allows a checksum to be validated for files that are not local. The checksum type is covered by ChecksumType.

NOTE: Checksums in packages are meant as a measure to validate the originally intended file that was used in the creation of a package is the same file that is received at a future date. Since this is used for other steps in the process related to the community repository, it ensures that the file a user receives is the same file a maintainer and a moderator (if applicable), plus any moderation review has intended for you to receive with this package. If you are looking at a remote source that uses the same url for updates, you will need to ensure the package also stays updated in line with those remote resource updates. You should look into automatic packaging to help provide that functionality.

NOTE: To determine checksums, you can get that from the original site if provided. You can also use the checksum tool available on the [community feed](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages) (choco install checksum) and use it e.g. checksum -t sha256 -f path\to\file. Ensure you provide checksums for all remote resources used.

Property	Value
Aliases
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value
Accept Pipeline Input?	false

-ChecksumType [<String>]

The type of checkum that the file is validated with - valid values are ‘md5’, ‘sha1’, ‘sha256’ or ‘sha512’ - defaults to ‘md5’.

MD5 is not recommended as certain organizations need to use FIPS compliant algorithms for hashing - see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/811833 for more details.

The recommendation is to use at least SHA256.

Property	Value

-Options [<Hashtable>]

OPTIONAL - Specify custom headers. Available in 0.9.10+.

Property	Value
