How to install 7-Zip silently using SCCM

1 min read

The following process shows how to setup a silent install that will work with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. It can be used to distribute 7-Zip to computers using a software management tool such as SCCM (System Config Configuration Manager).

It has been written for version 17 but should work for other versions.

Having troubles with the instructions? Take a look at the example download.

Download both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the MSI installation files from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Create a text file called install.cmd and copy in the following information

@echo off
cls
REM  Install 7-Zip
REM  ravinder.jaiswal.com
echo --------------------------------------------------------
echo .
echo .           Installing 7-Zip - Please Wait.
echo .         (This window will close once installed)
echo .

REM Silent install 7-Zip for 64-bit
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) "%~dp07z1700-x64.msi" /q"
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) exit

REM Silent install 7-Zip for 32-bit
"%~dp07z1700.msi" /q"

Copy the two exe install files and install.cmd to your software package share
You can now create your SCCM package or deploy the software by using install.cmd
