Run powershell script

[Marc MENDEZ]

Hi,

I need to install a powershell module.

Ir requires to install the package provider Nuget

I created a ps script called "installHL7Tools.ps1" :

    Install-PackageProvider -Name Nuget -Force

    Install-Module -Force HL7Tools

I need the first line, 'cause I'm not sure the Nuget is installed on the final computer.

In mu innosetup file, I have !

[Files]

Source: "installHL7Tools.ps1";       DestDir: "{tmp}"

[Run]

Filename: "powershell.exe"; Parameters: "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ""{tmp}\installHL7Tools.ps1"""; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags : runascurrentuser

Of course, my setup is run with admin privileges.

If I run installHL7Tools.ps1 from a powershell console window as admin, it works

But, if I run it thru my install kit , I don't find the package when I check it in a power shell console window.

What's wrong ?

Thx

Per the documentation[1]:

runascurrentuser - If this flag is specified, the spawned process will inherit Setup/Uninstall's user credentials (typically, full administrative privileges). This is the default behavior when the postinstall flag is not used.
This flag cannot be combined with the runasoriginaluser flag.

runasoriginaluser - Valid only in a [Run] section. If this flag is specified, the spawned process will execute with the (normally non-elevated) credentials of the user that started Setup initially (i.e., the "pre-UAC dialog" credentials).

Accordingly, it seems you might need runasoriginaluser rather than runascurrentuser ?

Hi,

I tried :

[Run]

Filename: "powershell.exe"; Parameters: "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ""{tmp}\installHL7Tools.ps1"""; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags : runasoriginaluser 

but it does not work : I get an error (something like "admin privileges required to run install-packageprovider")

 So it seems that you will need to split your script into two separate executions: Run Install-PackageProvider as an elevated user, and then run Install-Module as the current user.
