Automate GreenShot Deployment with ConfigMgr

Quick Note, I use Greenshot for all of the screen captures on my site.  It’s a great handy Free utility.

Create your Folder Structure:
\\ConfigMgrSourceServer\Apps\GreenShot\VersionNumber\

Download GreenShot: http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenshot/

Scripts & Files available here: http://garytown.com/Downloads/GreenShot.zip

Create your Install & Uninstall Scripts:

Load_GreenShot.cmd Script:
—————————–

:KillGreenShotProcesses
echo *** This will kill Greenshot Processes ***
Rem ***
taskkill /F /IM greenshot.exe

REM Using FOR Loop to find any EXE file and run it with these arguments
for %%i in (*.exe) do cmd /c %%i /LOADINF=”Greenshot.inf” /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

REM Install customisations
if exist “%ProgramFiles%\Greenshot\” xcopy /i /r /h /e /y greenshot-fixed.ini “%ProgramFiles%\Greenshot\”

REM Install customisations
if exist “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Greenshot\” xcopy /i /r /h /e /y greenshot-fixed.ini “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Greenshot\”

——————————

 

Note, in most of my scripts, I use this line instead of the actual installer name “for %%i in (*.exe) do cmd /c %%I” – This way, each time the installer is updated, I don’t need to change the script, just copy the folder contents and replace the installer file.

 

Uninstall Script (Uninstall_Greenshot.cmd)
——————————

:KillGreenShotProcesses
echo *** This will kill Greenshot Processes ***
Rem ***
taskkill /F /IM greenshot.exe
“C:\Program Files\Greenshot\unins000.exe” /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

REM Delete Folder
if exist “%ProgramFiles%\Greenshot\” rmdir “%ProgramFiles%\Greenshot\” /S /Q

REM Delete Folder
if exist “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Greenshot\” rmdir “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Greenshot\” /S /Q

————————-

I also copied a couple of preference files (in the download available), this is also supposed to disable automatic updates and disables Community features (Save to Flickr, etc)
Greenshot.inf file
————————

[Setup]
Lang=en
Group=Greenshot
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=plugins,plugins\ocr,plugins\titlefix
Tasks=startup

—————–

Here are some of the addons that are disabled in this install (Left = Default, Right = Modified Install via .inf file)

 

I also copy a file into the program folder that disables the update notifications
Greenshot-fixed.ini
————————

; Greenshot core configuration
[Core]
; How many days between every update check? (0=no checks)
UpdateCheckInterval=0

Now that we have our Content created, in ConfigMgr
Create an Application

In the Content Tab, make sure it is pointing to your ConfigMgr Content Source.

 

If I didn’t show a tab, it because there is nothing to set.
