I am trying to download and install DBeaver. Its downloading to the correct place but it will not install. Below is the code that i am trying to use.

Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://dbeaver.com/files/dbeaver-ee-latest-x86_64-setup.exe" -Destination "C:\temp\dbeaver-ee-latest-x86_64-setup.exe"
Start-Process "c:\temp\dbeaver-ee-latest-x86_64-setup.exe" -ArgumentList '/S','/v','/qn' -passthru

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi @jscafidi !

According to DBeaver, the application will only accept the following install parameters:

Parameter	Description
/S	silent mode, requires /allusers or /currentuser, case-sensitive
/D=path	(installer only) set install directory, must be last parameter, without quotes, case-sensitive
/allusers	(un)install for all users, case-insensitive
/currentuser	(un)install for current user only, case-insensitive
/uninstall	(installer only) run uninstaller, requires /allusers or /currentuser, case-insensitiv

With that being said, I it looks like your issue is the inclusion of /v and /qn, as well as the lack of the /allusers switch. After removing /v, /qn, and adding /allusers, I was able to successfully install DBeaver.

Here’s a revised Remediation Code that will stage a new directory named DBeaver, use your method for downloading and installing the application, and then remove the setup media after the installation completes. It will also log a success or failure status to your Automox Activity Log for auditing purposes:

powershell20 lines

try
    {
        #Creating setup directory
        New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path 'C:\temp\DBeaver\' -Force

        #Downloading latest DBeaver installer
        Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://dbeaver.com/files/dbeaver-ee-latest-x86_64-setup.exe" -Destination "C:\temp\DBeaver\setup.exe"

        #Starting installation
        Start-Process -FilePath "C:\temp\DBeaver\setup.exe" -ArgumentList ('/S', '/allusers') -Wait -PassThru
        Write-Output "Successfully installed DBeaver."

        #Remove setup files
        Remove-Item -Path "C:\temp\DBeaver\" -Force -Recurse
    }

catch
    {
        Write-Output "Failed to install DBeaver."
    }

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Have a great day!
