This may have been answered already but cant seem to find on this forum. I am trying to install .net 4.8 to remote machines. I am using the below but it seems like it is not working. The funny thing I am not getting error at all it is just not working. I have used this command for other process runs. Is it possible to install .net framework like this?
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -ArgumentList "/q /norestart" -ScriptBlock {Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\tmp\ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe' $args[0] }

That's the thing I am not getting an error. It just run and comes back . I even tried to run it locally and I just get the below as well with Passthru. No errors at all weird.
Invoke-Command -ArgumentList "/q /norestart" -ScriptBlock {Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\tmp\ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe' -ArgumentList $args[0] -Wait -PassThru}
and i just get this

Don't use PassThru.
"Wait" won't work with installers.
Many installers cannot be used remotely. Contact the vendor for assistance and if it can work.

This is the .net installer. Why would it not work? will it be better I guess to put in a bat file. Hate to do that but will if have to.

Why do you think a batch file will help. The issue is that installer EXE files run and start teh system installer. Most just terminate before the install is complete. Exiting the session will just terminate the installer. Either keep the session open until the installer quits or use a pre existing session.
If the installer cannot run silent then the installer may hang with no way to know it is hung. You must contact the vendor to know if this is possible.

Ok figured out that this script actually works. Needs a restart to be fully install. Just added restart and registry check for the version. lol realized that I have norestart arg and needed to remove it.

Have a quick question how can I not make the not path static? I tried the using: but it seems to not work. Invoke-Command does not see the path.
$path = 'C:\classInstalls\ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -ArgumentList "/q /norestart" -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath using:$path $args[0] }

$path = 'C:\classInstalls\ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -ArgumentList "/q /norestart" -ScriptBlock { Start-Process -FilePath using:$path $args[0] -WorkingDirectory ?????????? }
Do you need to include a WorkingDirectory?
