Scripts and software packages

rising

Has anyone had any luck with using any scripts with rescue? More importantly I would like to have some preinstalled *.exe files that I can run while we are logged into the customer. Such as Hijackthis.exe which is great at removing spyware.

 

Is this possible, I have a friend that uses a different remote software, and it has some of these added to it. They were able to add these to their dashboard, if they run the file it will go install, execute the program, and when they are done it will remove that program.

 

Any suggestions?

this is definitely possible.



essentially, what i'd recommend is using some package that supports silent install or can take parameters when run from the command prompt.



you then use the actual executable as the Resource file, and create a script that will essentially run that executable in the same way you'd do to run it from the command prompt.



example, silently installing an MSI:



MSI = Resource file

Script is a .bat/.cmd file containing: msiexec /qn myinstaller.msi



this would silently install that package.
