Snapin Packs

[tesparza]

Is it possible to use snapin packs to install multiple applications. For example, I create a script that installs chrome, firefox, 7zip, etc. In the zip file that is uploaded to FOG contains the script and the application that i want to install.
Reason i want to do this is because i can create monthly batches and deploy them once a month (updated version of apps) I’ve tried but have been unsuccessful.

Yes, it’s possible. Please checkout this tutorial: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=SnapinPacks
If you have any questions, please first try to figure them out yourself. If you hit a dead end, post here and I’ll try to help.

yes. zip up all the installers you wish to package together into a single zip file with a single batch install script (let’s call it install.cmd) that runs each executable with its relevant silent install options (these can typically be found at their websites).

zip file contents:

install.cmd
7z-x64.exe
firefox.exe
firefox.ini
ChromeStandaloneSetup64.exe
vlc3.exe

install.cmd:

7z-x64.exe /S /D="C:\Program Files\7-Zip"
firefox.exe /INI=[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]\firefox.ini
ChromeStandaloneSetup64.exe /silent /install
vlc3.exe /S /L=1033

note: you would need to create & include firefox.ini in the zip file along with the relevant firefox installer, as seen above

when you create the snapin pack use:
template: batch file
snapin pack file: cmd.exe
snapin pack arguments: /c “[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]\install.cmd”
