MEMCM / SCCM package generator

[Norman Yard (noyard)]

I have created a PowerShell script to create MEMCM Applications for a test lab using Winget package repository as a source. My only issue is the install command.

How can I get the install commands from a Winget package?

Example is
winget show "adobe acrobat reader dc"
Shows the download URL and information needed to create the MEMCM Application. but does not have the installer switches.

InstallerSwitches:
Silent: /sAll /rs /rps /l /re
SilentWithProgress: /sAll /rs /rps /l /re

We don't surface all of the manifest data using the "show" command. We're discussing when we will have a REST API based source with the contents of the community repository. Until then, the only other source is the GitHub repository https://aka.ms/winget-pkgs.

The show command makes some assumptions about which installer node to use, and that could impact switches it displayed based on the machine and user settings.

This could be for you if you are using MEMCM. It analyzes MSI, NULLSOFT, INNO (and very soon "BURN"-installers) from the winget repository "on the fly"... you just configure a list of PackageIds (e.g. "Microsoft.PowerBI") and they will be "synchronized" into MEMCM like magic.

I will take a look. I ended up using evergreen (https://stealthpuppy.com/evergreen/) to obtain the executables ... It even has software that Winget doesn't have...yet

Sounds like a good way to fix those programs that winget doesn't have. As long as they have a silent switch in their installer, either have no redists or handles it itself, and isn't a portable exe/zip it can be added easily
