Winrar 5.7 Install/Update

[Esben_D]

Due to the recent vulnerability, I've created a quick deployment package to update or install Winrar to the latest version.
Please note that this is a simple install and I haven't tested it with a licensed version.

If anyone wants to automate the deploy against a report:

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  tblAssets.Domain,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename As AssetType,
  tblAssets.Username,
  tblAssets.Userdomain,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
  tblAssets.IPAddress,
  tsysIPLocations.IPLocation,
  tblAssetCustom.Manufacturer,
  tblAssetCustom.Model,
  tsysOS.OSname As OS,
  tblAssets.SP,
  tblAssets.Lastseen,
  tblAssets.Lasttried,
  tblSoftwareUni.softwareName As Software,
  tblSoftware.softwareVersion As Version,
  tblSoftwareUni.SoftwarePublisher As Publisher,
  tblSoftware.Lastchanged

  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
  Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype

    tblAssets.LocationID
  Inner Join tblState On tblState.State = tblAssetCustom.State
  Inner Join tblSoftware On tblAssets.AssetID = tblSoftware.AssetID
  Inner Join tblSoftwareUni On tblSoftwareUni.SoftID = tblSoftware.softID

Where (tblSoftwareUni.softwareName Like '%winrar%' And tblSoftware.softwareVersion <
    '5.70') And tblState.Statename = 'Active'
Order By tblAssets.IPAddress Desc

I would not use the logic in this package.

32 bit winrar can be installed on 64 bit OS's.


What i did was check for the location of the existing install C:\program file, install 64 bit to upgrade, C:\Program Files (x86) , install the 32 bit to upgrade.

It may work just fine, i did not test to see if a 64 bit installer would overwrite and upgrade the 32 installation, if it does , then this logic would be ok.

The Winrar version will not be updated to 64-bit if you have a 32-bit version installed. I've changed the deployment to compensate for this.

If the architecture check now detects a 64-bit OS, it will first do a check to see if a 32-bit installation is installed or not. If it is, it will continue with the 32-bit install flow, otherwise it will do the 64-bit install flow.

I'm getting an error:

Result: Deployment ended: Incorrect function. Stop(Failure). Credential: (XXXX\admin). ShareCredential: (XXXX). Command: "\\my-server\DefaultPackageShare$\Installer\winrar-x64-570.exe" /s

and also without the /s

There's a typo in the 64bit command, there should be an 's' on the end of installer like so:

"{PackageShare}\Installers\winrar-x64-570.exe" /s

Fixed it and updated the package above. Thanks for letting me know!
