FEATURE REQUEST - Install-Remotely.bat instead of Install-Remotely.ps1

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll consider this.

I was thinking of doing something similar to your second suggestion (copy/paste script), except have the agent self-installing. I did this for another project I started, and it works well.

Came to agree; ps1 is a PITA to get going in the bit I’ve messed with it here. :-(

spent about 30 minutes trying to get it to install on my laptop yesterday. was extremely annoying but happy when it finally started installing. for now, if you include on the downloads section of the server, the command you need to set up remote signing, it would help tremendously.

Hi,
I have written this script myself:

First it runs as administrator, then it downloads the remotely_installer.exe file and installs everything! Please change your domain and your Oranizations ID.
I hope this can help you.

### Very important !!! Please read the BAT file completely and insert your data !!!!
If you need such a script for Linux/Ubuntu/MacOS just ask !

My script:

@echo off
:: Überprüfen, ob das Skript mit Administratorrechten ausgeführt wird
NET FILE 1>NUL 2>NUL
if '%errorlevel%' == '0' ( goto admin ) else ( powershell -Command "Start-Process '%0' -Verb RunAs" & exit /B )

:admin
:: Setzen der ExecutionPolicy auf Unrestricted
powershell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force"

:: Herunterladen der Remotely_Installer.exe
echo Herunterladen der Remotely_Installer.exe...
curl -L -o "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Remotely_Installer.exe" https://[Your Remotely Domain]/Content/Remotely_Installer.exe
if %errorLevel% neq 0 (
    echo Fehler beim Herunterladen der Datei.
    pause
    exit /b
)

:: Prüfen, ob die Datei heruntergeladen wurde
if exist "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Remotely_Installer.exe" (
    :: Freigabe der Datei für die Ausführung ohne Warnmeldung
    powershell -Command "Unblock-File -Path '%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Remotely_Installer.exe'"
    
    :: Ausführen der Remotely_Installer.exe
    powershell -Command "Start-Process '%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Remotely_Installer.exe' -ArgumentList '-install -organizationid [Organisation ID] -serverurl https://[Domain to your remotely]' -Verb RunAs"
    if %errorLevel% neq 0 (
        echo Fehler bei der Installation.
        pause
        exit /b
    )
) else (
    echo Die Datei Remotely_Installer.exe wurde nicht gefunden.
    pause
    exit /b
)

:: Zurücksetzen der ExecutionPolicy auf den ursprünglichen Wert
powershell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force"

echo Installation abgeschlossen.
exit

I wrote it for myself in German, please just ignore it!
