Installing Powershell Studio in an azure pipeline

Post by sandeman »

Product: PowerShell Studio 2021 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.8.196
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.19042.0

We have a limited number of PowerShell Studio licenses, 4 or 6 I'm not sure, we want to automate the build process and configure
a build agent ( Windows Server 2016 Datacenter x64 VM ) in a Azure pipeline to build our PowerShell Studio project(s), and use
the SAPIENCommandLine.exe tool to build the project(s).

Questions:

Since in the pipeline I'm not using the Powershell Studio (IDE) only the SAPIENcommandline.exe tool, do I need install a full version of Powershell Studio ?

Can I use an existing license or do I need a special license for the build agent?

I would like to install the PowerShell Studio or a lighter version during the provisioning of the build agent, also in a azure pipeline, as part of
a Powershell or yaml script. Is it possible to install Powershell Studio this way without user interaction with the Install wizard? Maybe a silent install?


Best regards

As of the latest build of PowerShell Studio (5.8.198), a full installation of PowerShell Studio is required for the SAPIENCommandline.exe tool.
Your existing PowerShell Studio licenses should work as long as PowerShell Studio is properly activated.
You can use the following command line parameters to install silently:

Code: Select all

SPS22Setup_5.8.198_011122_x64.exe /exenoui /qn

Thank you for the quick reply.
The silent install should work fine.
Is there any way to activate PowerShell Studio without launching the PowerShell Studio IDE? At the command line?

Thanks again,
Really appreciated

No, the application needs to be opened at least once to be activated.
