Hello edugeek friends.

 

I feel I may have been here before, in a software tidy up. But I'm serious this time!:-D

 

I have a great rightclick picture resizer. It's really handy.

 

Image Resizer for Windows - Lets you resize images by right-clicking.

 

However, they only have an .exe - does anyone know of a similar program (right click) which has an available .msi? Just trying to really tidy up and keep all the policies etc. consistent.

 

Thanks!

You could run the exe with a /quiet and install it as part of a workstation boot script instead.

 

Or... you could always ask the King @Arthur to see if he has an MSI already created of one, or could kindly create one. ;)

@DJ-1701 I'm not sure how to do that, hence looking for the msi for now, just to get it done.

 

I did think of @Arthur but didn't want to bother him as he did some brilliant VLCs for me the other week (REALLY helped me out there!) and don't want to be a mither!

I assume a vanilla network? It's simple enough once you have first done one. :)

 

1. In the same location you keep your MSIs (lets say it's \\Server\Packages$\), place a copy of the ImageResizerSetup-3.0.exe file.

2. Open notepad and type the following (correcting for the location you placed the EXE file).

 

"\\Server\Packages$\ImageResizerSetup-3.0.exe" /quiet

 

3. Save the file as "ImageResizer.cmd" in the same directory as the EXE (include the speech marks so it doesn't add .txt to the end).

4. Create a new GPO and assign to the relevant group you wish to deploy to.

5. Go to Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) and open the Startup policy.

6. Click Add... then click Browse... and search for the CMD you created. :)

7. Test. :)

 

Update: Or use @Ant's older version of the MSI. ;)

Thanks for this Ant. Very kind.

Thanks for this - I've not done this before so the guide is helpful! I often see people recommending this, but wasn't sure how.

@Novalee. It might be worth logging an issue on the ImageResizer GitHub repo about an MSI for the latest version. Brice Lambson (the developer) already has all of the code necessary to create MSIs...

I'll do that Arthur - hadn't noticed this page. Thank you!
