Shapr3d

[Dmarin]

Hi Guys,

 

Anyone using Shapr3d? And if yes, how did you manage to install it? It seems to be hit and miss, as we have Microsoft store blocked.

Would appreciate any tips. We managed to install it on a few machines, but some of the others just won't do it with the package installer Shapr is providing.

Thought I'll try my luck in here, maybe someone else had the same issue.

Cheers.

can you use winget? it will install store apps

[Dmarin]

Hi Mav,

Thanks for the reply, will give it a go tomorrow. That's probably the last thing we haven't tried. Did form powershell aswell. The prob being that they don't supply an msi, or an exe, but rather an appx. It works on some pc's but not on all of them, that's the weird part. Will give winget a try thou. Thanks.

What system are you trying to install it for? Local AD / Domain, or Microsoft Intune?

[Dmarin]

Hi IkWEb,

 

Local Domain. Windows 10 22h2. They provide an installer that's supposed to go through the store, and we have the store blocked. Long stoy short for some devices work, and for others it doesn't. all i can think now, is to reimage the computers that won't take the install, and see if that makes a difference.

Hi @Dmarin

 

I have created an offline installer for intune - you should be able to take the same package and deploy it via GPO. Let me know if it would be any use to you.

[Dmarin]

At this point i'll take any help i can Probably will work if it's an offline installer, the weird part is i actually contacted shapr3d people, and they say they don't offer support, as it's an education licence and it's free... Weird world we're living in.

If you can share i'll owe you one.

Thanks.

Hi @Dmarin

 

This should work for you -

 

Dism /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"Shapr3D.Package_5.520.6157.0_x64_ARM64.msixbundle" /SkipLicense

 

Where I list the .MSIXBUNDLE update this with the full path - unless you are putting it in the same location as where this will run from.

 

As for uninstall

 

Remove-AppxPackage -Package "Shapr3D.Shapr3D_5.520.6157.0_x64__dvv5p1vgwv6mp" -AllUsers

 

Please test - Make sure you are happy - this has worked fine for me - I only tested as one user - I've finished for the winter now so I didn't get a chance to test for more than 1 user account - so please feel free to feed any comments back if you get chance to test before you break up.

[Dmarin]

It worked. Thanks mate, you are amazing. I almost gave up after weeks of research and trying to make it work. Tried on few different users, after installing it with DISM with elevated access it works. I still need to install the dependencies with power shell, but as soon as i do that, and run the DISM command, it just works.

Have a great Christmas break.

Hey - Good to know - Glad its now working for you.

 

You also have a good break!

We're also having issues with this software.

 

It installs fine and runs for all users, but breaks as soon as there is an update.

 

I was hoping it would just auto-update itself but it seems not, so we're being asked back down to DT to update 60+ devices manually.

 

There has to be a better way.

 

We're not using Intune yet and as they don't provide an MSI I'm wondering what the best route is?

[IKWeb]

Just use the above command - with the new update file - No need to do it manually.

 

But just reverse the commands - run the Remove-AppxPackage 1st - you will need to update the package ID tho - then once you have done that - run the DISM to install the new version.

 

all can be done via GPO.

OK - thanks.

 

With a startup script?

[IKWeb]

Hi - Yep you could do it with a startup script that would work fine.

anyone managed to get this to update when deploying in intune via the store, with store blocked for students?

 

[IKWeb]

Just build a new package and push out the new version. That's what we do as we also block the store. If you need the intunewim file let me know and ill get it shared with you 

[ajnichol2001]

bit of a pain, it should auto update though even of you block the store app, also don't know when a new version is published so when students use it it wants an update if they used a different version

 

[IKWeb]

Why would it update - when you have blocked the updating source.... that's like saying I want office to update - but I've blocked the Microsoft updating URL's. - you cant have it both ways. 

 

If you are going to use apps that require the store to update - you are going to have to manually keep track of versions.
