WAPT snapins

[jmeyer]

Hello,
I am working on WAPT packages import directly in snapins.
I am writing single line powershell script to rename to zip, extract to directory, find command and run it.

This is my first test script for VLC from windows :

$packwapt = "tis-vlc_3.0.16-12_x64_windows_0f4137ed1502b5045d6083aa258b5c42_5.1_PROD.wapt";
$packname = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($packwapt);
Copy-Item $packwapt $packname".zip";
Expand-Archive -LiteralPath $packname".zip" $packname;
Remove-Item $packname".zip";
$s = Get-Content -Path $packname"\setup.py" | Select-String -Pattern "silentflags = ";
if ($s -ne $null) {
	$s=[regex]::matches($s,'(?<=\").+?(?=\")').value;
	Get-ChildItem -Filter $packname"\*.exe" | ForEach {&$_.Fullname $s}
};
Remove-Item $packname –recurse;

I’m not sure where I am going and if this is useful… lol

I use WAPT to deploy softwares but i don’t understand your use case.
Why not just deploy WAPT agent and use command like “wapt-get install tis-yourPackage” ?

I have review my first idea.
I have used Snapin Pack.
Zip the wapt and the ps1 script and it’s working for VLC WAPT package.

Get-ChildItem -Filter '*.wapt' | ForEach {
	Set-Variable -Name packwapt -Value $_.Fullname
	Set-Variable -Name packname -Value $packwapt.Substring(0,$packwapt.Length-5)
	Copy-Item $packwapt $packname'.zip'
	Expand-Archive -LiteralPath $packname'.zip' $packname
	Set-Variable -Name s -Value (Get-Content -Path $packname'\setup.py' | Select-String -Pattern 'silentflags = ')
	if ($s -ne $null) {
		Set-Variable -Name s -Value ([regex]::matches($s,'(?<=\").+?(?=\")').value)
		Get-ChildItem -Path $packname -Filter '*.exe' | ForEach {
			Start-Process -FilePath $_.Fullname $s -Wait;
		}
	}
}

Caling powershell.exe doesn’t allow to set variable directly ($var=“test”).

I had to use Set-Variable command but multi commands doesn’t work as expected since every line need a command.

I’ll keep trying to work on this.
