Install batch file from powershell

Hello Community!

I'm going mad last few days, trying to run this batch file from PS, or convert it natively so it can run on PowerShell script, it is all to be installed via inTune

This is the batch file:

@echo off

certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" Mediaocean.cer

msiexec /i "https://moinstaller.mediaocean.com/MOInstaller/DDSShell64/DDSShell64.msi" /qn /norestart

msiexec /i "https://moinstaller.mediaocean.com/MOInstaller/MOFramework/MOFramework.msi" /qn /norestart

Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated!

The only non-powershell statement is the echo. I would recommend logging a transcript file that you can then review for errors. Certutil will write to stdout so that will be logged into the transcript.

But msiexec will not write to stdout, so you should add logging to the command line parameters.

start-transcript -path $env:systemroot\temp\MyScript.log
certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" Mediaocean.cer
msiexec /i "https://moinstaller.mediaocean.com/MOInstaller/DDSShell64/DDSShell64.msi" /qn /norestart /lv $env:systemroot\temp\MyScript-msi-1.log
msiexec /i "https://moinstaller.mediaocean.com/MOInstaller/MOFramework/MOFramework.msi" /qn /norestart /lv $env:systemroot\temp\MyScript-msi-2.log
stop-transcript

Then if something doesn't work, you have the 3 log files in C:\windows\temp that you can review for errors.

I should also add that you have not fully qualified the path to the Mediaocean.cer file. Unless Intune sets the current working directory to the location of that file, certutil will return a file not found error.
