How to run composite commands of powershell ?

Question

Hi,
As part of installing MAUI exe in server 2019, we need to run some commands in power shell as admin.
How we do it in **one command* in script file?
Thanks in advance,

1.Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath
C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8
wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -LicensePath
C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\a941c144deac426082dc9f208f72
9138_License1.xml -Verbose
2. Add-AppxPackage -Path
"C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Des
ktop.appx"
3. Add-AppxPackage -Path
"C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Des
ktop.appx

Answer 1

Open notepad. Paste the commands into the window. Save the file as Something.ps1. From the Windows start menu search for powershell. Select "run as administrator". CD to the folder where you saved the file. Use the "dot slash" notation to execute the script, ",\Something.ps1" .

If you are executing a .bat file that contains the commands to install maui, then add a line to call Powershell.

powershell.exe -file C:\WhereverYouPutIt\Something.ps1"   

Be sure to launch the bat file with "run as administrator".

If you can't save a file, you can do it in one line by separating cmdlet's with the ";" character.

powershell.exe -command "Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -LicensePath C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\a941c144deac426082dc9f208f729138_License1.xml -Verbose; Add-AppxPackage -Path C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx; Add-AppxPackage -Path C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx"

Hi!

Regarding the content of the file, for ease of reuse and a bit of readability consider something like this:

Provisioned AppxPackage

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath "C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle" `
-LicensePath "C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\a941c144deac426082dc9f208f729138_License1.xml" -Verbose

Appxpackage list

$appxpackagelist = "C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx", "C:\AutomationManager\DependenciesServer2019\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx"

Foreach loop for installing the Appxpackages

foreach ($package in $appxpackagelist){
Add-AppxPackage -Path $package
}
