Here is the code I use to create a snapin after publishing a chocolatey package to my repo. I added the hashes after the problem started and it sometimes helps but it seems the behavior is slightly unpredictable and the hash record on fog still changes somehow. end { Write-Verbose "making sure package $global:packageName exists as fog snapin"; if ( (Invoke-FogApi -uriPath "snapin/search/$global:packageName" -Method GET).count -eq 0){ Write-Verbose "snapin does not exist, creating new snapin"; $snapinScript = Get-Item "path\to\chocoPkgSnapin.ps1"; $hash = ($snapinScript | Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512).Hash; $fileSize = $snapinScript.Length; $json = @{ "name"="$global:packageName" "file"="chocoPkgSnapin.ps1" "args"="-pkgname $global:packageName" "reboot"="" "shutdown"="" "runwith"="powershell.exe" "runwithArgs"="-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -File" "protected"="0" "isEnabled"="1" "toReplicate"="1" "hide"="0" "timeout"="0" "packtype"="0" "storagegroupname"="default" "hash"="$hash" "size"="$fileSize" } | ConvertTo-Json; Invoke-FogApiChocoSnapin -uriPath 'snapin/new' -Method POST -jsonData $json -verbose; } else { Write-Verbose "Snapin already exists"; } Write-Verbose "Updating hases for all snapins"; $snapinScript = Get-Item Get-Item "path\to\chocoPkgSnapin.ps1"; $hash = ($snapinScript | Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512).Hash; $fileSize = $snapinScript.Length; $snapins = Get-FogObject -type object -coreObject snapin; $snapins.snapins | Where-Object file -match 'choco' | ForEach-Object { $data = @{ "id" = "$($_.id)"; "name" = "$($_.name)"; "file" = "$($_.file)"; "runwith"="powershell.exe"; "runwithArgs"="-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -File"; "args" = "$($_.args)"; "protected"="0"; "isEnabled"="1"; "toReplicate"="1"; "hide"="0"; "timeout"="0"; "packtype"="0"; "reboot"=""; "shutdown"=""; "size"="$fileSize" "hash" = "$hash"; } | convertto-json; Update-FogObject -type object -coreObject 'snapin' -IDofObject $_.id -jsonData $data -uri "snapin/$($_.ID)/ Write-Verbose 'Done!'; return; } Some of the snapins return 500 errors when I attempt to loop through them all and update their hash records. Since that isn’t working I’m really hoping there’s some way to disable the hashing function, even if it’s some hackish way in the database or something.

@p4cm4n also, tried cmd and batch from sfx archives, specifically 7zip sfx maker which threw an error trying to run on my own machine and winrar sfx maker. Rar is crappier compression but oh well. One of those worked can’t remember which…but things like wifi configs using it didnt.

I have tried many ways and it seems that powershell can’t do this or i missed something. What i have tried now is to make a snapin pack with psexec.exe and a batch file. Also in this batch i can’t write to HKCU. I used now the following code to store the key and this works for now. It’s not a nice solutions but it works. If anyone can give me the trick to do this in powershell, let me know. PsExec.exe -i -s -u %COMPUTERNAME%\%username% -p -nobanner -accepteula -i REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Test" /v "Machinenummer" /t REG_SZ /d %COMPUTERNAME% /f

@Tom-Elliott I wasn’t aware that snapins automatically showed under the groups… If that’s the case then it kinda threw me for a loop. Now to recover from my own little screw up… oh well lesson learned… don’t be a dummy :)

@Tom-Elliott I did not see that one. Thank you good sir.

@Wayne-Workman But sharing is caring. And it’s so much easier to maintain just one file in a shared location.

@kwetiaw The professional version allows for network deployment, they also offer a msi repackager for the professional version. http://support.horizondatasys.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/97/0/rollback-rx-deployment-guide

@Tom-Elliott Oh that makes sense, so not quite so easy to change. I thought it was just a typo, but that makes more sense that it just pulls the description from elsewhere.

@Tom-Elliott Also confirmed, it is working now. The sort is still by Captial and the lowercase alphabetic but that’s a minor issue

Sorry for not responding earlier, Yes this is solved. Thanks again for all the hard work @Developers and everyone else.

Confirmed working. the CA ssl folders can now be separated from the snap-ins folder

@Arrowhead-IT Scratch that, it totally worked after a restart. So if you go breaking your permissions just run the script posted and restart and violia!
