PSADTv4-large Template

The psadtv4-large template provides the code required to package a PSAppDeployToolkit v4 application as a Chocolatey package where the PSAppDeployToolkit application is larger than 2 GB in size.

In order to use this template you will need to zip up your PSADT app and place it somewhere accessible during the installation of the Chocolatey package. This can be either a UNC file share or a URL.

PSADTv4-Large Template Values

The v4 templates need some information from the user when building a package from the template. Required information is:

  • PackageVersion: The version for the Chocolatey package, recommended to be the version number from the installer.
  • Title: The title for the package. This is a slightly more descriptive name for the package in addition to the package id.
  • Organization: Your organization name.
  • Location: The path to the PSAddt app archive. Can be a UNC share path or url. Only used when using template with Chocolatey directly.

Usage

Directly via Chocolatey

You can use this template directly via Chocolatey, however you will need to copy the PSAppDeployToolkit application folder and its contents to the Chocolatey package's tools directory prior to packing and publishing the package to your repository for use.

choco new <package id> --template='psadtv4-large' --version='<package version>' Title='<Software title>' Organization='<Your org>' Location='<unc path or url>'

ConvertTo-ChocolateyPackage.ps1

You can use the ConvertTo-ChocolateyPackage.ps1 script in this repository to convert your PSADT app to a Chocolatey package.

Notes:

  • The output directory of the Chocolatey package defaults to the current working directory. Use `-OutputDirectory to override.
  • Use -CompilePackage to create the package nupkg file automatically. Otherwise, you will need to run choco pack against the package nuspec once you are ready.
$templateArguments = @{
    PackageVersion = '<package version>'

    Organization = '<organization name>'
