Adding Applications

Applications install during the first-boot phase, silently, as SYSTEM, from a staged folder.

Upload steps

1. Content Library → Upload Content.
2. Name the app, e.g. 7-Zip 24.08.
3. Set Type to Application.
4. Provide the Install command - the silent-install command run as SYSTEM from the staged folder.
5. (Optional) Success codes - extra exit codes to treat as success, e.g. 0, 3010, 1641.
6. Upload the installer or zip.

Install command

For an MSI:

msiexec /i "7z2408-x64.msi" /quiet

For a zipped app, target the extracted setup:

setup.exe /configure config.xml

Add the app to a Task Sequence's Install Applications step to include it in a deployment.

Success codes

By default, an install is successful when the process exits with 0. Many Windows installers also return 3010 ("success, reboot required") or 1641 ("success, installer restarted the machine"). Add those to the Success codes field so those exit codes aren't treated as failures.
