Silent Install - Toolbox App - Windows

Same problem here. I need a way to deploy the Toolbox in unattended/silent way. I'm NOT logging into 50 separate machines to install manually!!

In my first attemp i created a msi with EMCO MSI BUILDER, which was ok, but i want to keep it simple and only copy the toolbox folder the default place and add the needed registry entrys.

Default Folder: (Yes you could change it, but on the next update it will install it again the the localappdate folder, so dont change it)

%localappdata%\JetBrains\Toolbox\JetBrains\Toolbox

and then you need the following registry values:

create a *.reg with the following content (could be that %username% dont work, normaly the actual user stands there, i set this with my deployment tool):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I actually got the /S flag to work. I used the PowerShell commands below:

Install:

Hi again i have a issue with the Uninstallation, it opens a browser Window "https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/uninstall/" which is realy annoying for reinstallation, is there any commandline to suppress that ?

Iam using now  the Powershell Deployment Toolkit, since its a User install ,i need to use the Execute-ProcessAsUser function ,which has no option for -NoNewWindow.

Any workarounds besides dont use the uninstall and remove all files manually ?

greetings

Benni
