Any chance that someone who knows more about the installers than I do could develop a script for installing Greenshot? I've tried and totally failed 😞

Not a big deal...this worked for me (just save it as .xml and import into lansweeper):

Remember that you have to set the correct path to the installer. Also I set the user to "scanning credentials" because that user has administrator privileges in our network.
I added the kill-command because the installation still opens the website in silent mode (not the best solution but I couldn't figure out a better way). Maybe you also have to change this if you use a different browser as default.
But overall not a big thing. Btw. I hate executables that are not unpackable to get the msi.

Here is what I'm using to install Greenshot.

Some of our computers have an older version of Greenshot, so I added a Kill process first. This works for upgrades and new installs. In addition I added /LANG=English because I found the install was popping up asking me to select a language. Adjust the install folder for your environment and filename depending on the version.

You can also do batch installs of software, including Greenshot, by using Ninite.com 's installer through Lansweeper as well. (this make for fast and easy batch updating of things like chrome, java, acrobat, etc.
