Done ability to install with winget?

[ClioCJS]

I'm trying to automate my environments as much as possible — including the automation of rolling out common programs I use.

Is there a winget command to install TCC?

 

[rconn]

You can do an automated install of TCC using the msiexec options.

Everyday,
when I start Windows Sandbox,
it automatically installs TCC.

The process is quite fast.

Following link from 2021 gives the details.

I'm still waiting for the PSHELL command to work from TCC in Windows Sandbox.

Does this have something to do with the auto-install?

Not sure.

Other than that, TCC works as it should in Windows Sandbox.

I have two people above saying it's possible, but neither have provided an example invocation that works.

While I appreciate claims that an answer to my problem exists, I'm actually looking for the actual answer, and the above claims don't actually bring me any closer to it

i.e. what is the msiexec command? how is it installed in sandbox?

I'm looking for a command that downloads it and installs it, like winget. Maybe that part wasn't clear.

From a TCC prompt, copy the install file from the JPSoft web site;

copy https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v32/tcmd.exe

NOTE: This will change with each version of tcmd.exe

To install TCMD silently,

tcmd.exe /qn

Here's a winget btm script (beta) to download Take Command and install silently.

If you run winget.btm without tcmd as command line argument #2,
winget.exe will be executed,
so that you may use it as you normally would.

Note that with each new version of Take Command,
you will have to change the Source environment variable
to point to the URL of the version of tcmd.exe that you wish to install.

This code has not been thoroughly tested,
use at your own risk!

The line to install Take Command silently has been commented.
You will need to remove the comment for Take Command to be silently installed.

::tcmd.exe /qn

should be

tcmd.exe /qn

Modify this winget.btm script to accommodate your needs.

EDIT: Source Code updated

MSIEXEC is a Windows command (part of Windows Installer).

It seems that Joe has provided a script to do what you want (download it and then use the MSIEXEC options to autoinstall).
