Snap-in MSI with multiple files

This post is deleted! -
Well - I did have some stuff to add to this, but whatever forum software this is doesn’t seem to like code blocks with powershell with param or typecasting in it
-
@Mentaloid I can see the deleted post. It looks fine to me. What’s wrong, exactly?
-
@Wayne-Workman
There’s a ton of missing code in the first code block, and strings seem to be substituted in several places. If I edit the post, it all seems right in the preview, but the actual post is messed up.it seems it’s not restricted to code blocks either - I just tried quoting here. I’ll send you a file if I can as an example of what’s messed up?

@Mentaloid I tried messing with it for a while, it’s the tilde characters messing it up.

You can create a .txt file and upload that if you want.
@Developers this would be a good example of a “forums issues”.
-
Tilde? like ~ chars? or the backticks like `?
My experiment seem to show using things like
param (
[string]$url = “.”
[string]$exec = “”
)
is messed up as well (Wayne, not the missing line and square brackets if you edit directly) -
@Mentaloid The key to the left of the 1 key seems to be doing it. I don’t know what to say about it. It’s a NodeBB issue for sure. Seems we need better escaping.

I added the samba stuff to the wiki here, made some fog-specific changes so it’s “ours” and “belonging” and all that good stuff.

@adukes40 I haven’t watched the Q&A yet, but when I saw Smart Notebook in the post, I wanted to share the way I incorporate it into an image. I haven’t experimented with doing a snapin (though since updates for Smart Notebook are regular it would make sense), rather, I install it within an image. Once I deploy this Smart Notebook image, it tells me the license is expired, but with a couple of clicks (manage license>repair license online automatically) it’s good. I guess if you have many different images that need Smart Notebook, the snapin method would be best, but on a universal image (we have a generic smartboard image), I feel like it may be simpler to use my method and update it then re-upload as needed for new versions. We do it that way periodically for not only Smart updates, but other applications and windows updates. I can post screens on Tuesday of the simple license repair for Smart Notebook embedded images if anybody is interested.
I digress, this may have already been discussed and this thread is about a more in general snapin question, so I apologize for getting off topic.

Personally, I install smart notebook on every image. Then I leave a copy of the installer on the C:\ drive for actual smartboards. We just run the installer and choose “Smartboard Drivers” so it works with the smartboard.
