Synopsis

Install list of files

Syntax

Install-FileList [-FileList] <String[]> [-TargetDir] <String> [[-Replace] <String>] [-AbortIfLocked] [-BreakLock] [-ContinueOnError] [-CreateBackup] [-Wow64] [[-Context] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this command to install a list of source files in the same target path. As parameter, the source files and the common target path are entered.
In case an error occurs when running this command, you can specify the option Stop script on error in the Script Editor. If the error actually occurs, the script stops, thus preventing subsequent errors, and the associated policy is shown as not compliant.
This also applies if you set the package property Error handling to Always terminate script on error (a default setting for new packages).

Parameters

-AbortIfLocked <SwitchParameter>

If you select Abort execution if file is locked, the script execution is stopped if the file you want to update is locked. If you do not select this option, DSM attempts to update the file after restarting the computer (see above).
If you chose this option the script is stopped only if there is a locked file. To ensure that the script stops for all other kinds of errors, select Stop script on error (see above).

This option is valid for the selected object and can be specified in the configuration table in the General Package Properties > Server Service File Lock Settings.
Please note that by using this option, the managed computer's system may crash when server applications are active!

Position	0
Accepts pipeline input	False

-Replace <String>

Always: Files with identical names in the target directory will always be replaced.
Note: If you select the options "Always replace" or "Replace older versions only", you additionally switch to the unattended mode. In this mode, the DSM automatically checks whether the files to be installed are currently in use (and therefore cannot be installed while Windows is running). The respective files are listed; Windows is automatically restarted and the files are installed. Use the Unregister-SystemRestart command to avoid the automatic restart.
Older: This option allows you to compare file versions (of existing files). First, the Installer compares the internal versions of the files (if maintained). If the internal versions have not been maintained, the Installer compares the date and time of files having identical names. If an older file version exists it will be replaced with the newer version.
Note: If you select the options "Always replace" or "Replace older versions only", you additionally switch to the unattended mode. In this mode, the DSM automatically checks whether the files to be installed are currently in use (and therefore cannot be installed while Windows is running). The respective files are listed; Windows is automatically restarted and the files are installed. Use the Unregister-SystemRestart command to avoid the automatic restart.
Never: Files with identical names in the target directory will not be replaced.
Confirm: Files with identical names in the target directory will replaced only if the user confirms.

Required	False

Accepts pipeline input	False

-TargetDir <String>

The specified source files are installed in the common target path. An installation in subdirectories is not possible.

Required	True
Position	1
Accepts pipeline input	False

-Wow64 <SwitchParameter>

By default, the PackageDeployment module assumes to run in a 64-bit PowerShell process on 64-bit systems, and therefore defaults to the 64-bit application location (if different from the 32-bit application location) for file and registry accesses. If you want to access the 32-bit counterparts (in the file system %WinDir%\SysWOW64 instead of %WinDir%\System32, in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE), use the -Wow64 switch.
