@GovardhanReddy

It’s depends on which softwares you are installing
every software has it’s own parameters, so better check by searching for software and powershell commands

then you can use Invoke Powershell activity to run using the UiPath

Hope this may help you

Thanks,

Hi @GovardhanReddy

Can you try this powershell script , it is use to install multiple software packages on remote machines.

’ Define the list of remote machines you want to install software on
$computers = “COMPUTER1”, “COMPUTER2”, “COMPUTER3”

'Define the list of software packages you want to install

$software = @(
@{
Name = “Software1”
Path = “\SERVER\SHARE\Software1.exe”
Arguments = “/silent”
},
@{
Name = “Software2”
Path = “\SERVER\SHARE\Software2.msi”
Arguments = “/qn”
},
@{
Name = “Software3”
Path = “\SERVER\SHARE\Software3.exe”
Arguments = “/silent /norestart”
}
)

'Loop through each remote machine and install the software

foreach ($computer in $computers) {
Write-Host “Installing software on $computer…”
foreach ($package in $software) {
Write-Host " Installing $($package.Name)…"
$result = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {
& “$($using:package.Path)” $($using:package.Arguments)
}
if ($result.ExitCode -eq 0) {
Write-Host " Successfully installed $($package.Name) on $computer."
}
else {
Write-Host " Failed to install $($package.Name) on $computer."
}
}
}

Replace the values for $computers and $software with the names of the remote machines and the software packages you want to install, respectively.

Thanks!!

@GovardhanReddy

You can try something like this…need to be modified as per your computers and softwares

# Example computer names
$computers = "Computer1", "Computer2", "Computer3"
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
#command on the remote machine
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {
# Example installation for notepad
Start-Process "C:\Software\Notepad++\npp.7.9.5.Installer.exe" -ArgumentList "/S" -Wait
    }
}

Hope this helps

Cheers

@GovardhanReddy

Just modified the above code…it was actually a comment…so commented it out.please use the new one

Also you should have access to the remote machien where you want to install else this might not work

Thank You again

getting below

[FINLR19] Connecting to remote server FINLR19 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the
request because the server name cannot be resolved. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (FINLR19:String) , PSRemotingTransportException

is this because of access issue?

@GovardhanReddy

Yes this is the access issue…remote server you are trying is either not up or the name is wrong or is not available to connect
