Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 Install and Uninstall (PowerShell)

by

This article will serve as an informative guide and give you a clear understanding of how to perform silent or interactive installs and uninstalls of Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 using the Powershell App Deployment Toolkit. The PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit can be used to replace your WiseScript, VBScript and Batch wrapper scripts with one versatile, re-usable and extensible tool. This tool is an absolute must for Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM) / (SCCM) Administrators or anyone who is responsible for packaging and deploying software.

How to Install Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 Using the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit

  1. Download the Powershell App Deployment Toolkit 3.8.4:
  2. Download the zip file to a folder created at (C:\Downloads)
  3. Open Windows PowerShell by Right-Clicking on Windows PowerShell and selecting Run as Administrator
  4. Enter the following command to remove the Zone.Identifier:
    • Unblock-File -Path C:\Downloads\PSAppDeployToolkit_v3.8.4.zip
  5. Enter the following command to extract the contents of the zip file:
    • Expand-Archive -Path C:\Downloads\PSAppDeployToolkit_v3.8.4.zip -DestinationPath C:\Downloads\PADT
  6. Enter the following commands to copy the AppDeployToolkit & Files folders to “C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013”:
    • Copy-Item -Path "C:\Downloads\PADT\Toolkit\AppDeployToolkit" -Destination "C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\AppDeployToolkit" -Recurse
    • Copy-Item -Path "C:\Downloads\PADT\Toolkit\Files" -Destination "C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files"
  7. We also need to create two additional directories called x86 & x64
    • New-Item "C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x86" -ItemType Directory
    • New-Item "C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x64" -ItemType Directory

You should now see the AppDeploymentToolkit folder with files & the Files directory with empty x86 & x64 folders at “C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013“

I like to keep my scripts as dynamic as possible so they can handle multiple scenarios such as the ability to install the 32-bit version of Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 on 32-bit systems and the 64-bit version of Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 on 64-bit systems. Next we’ll want to download and extract both the 32-bit & 64-bit EXE installers for Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013 including Service Pack 1.

  • Navigate to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491
  • Click Download
  • Select the sharepointdesigner_32bit.exe & sharepointdesigner_64bit.exe
  • Click Next
  • Download both EXE’s to the C:\Downloads folder
  • Open an Elevated Command Prompt by Right-Clicking on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator
  • Navigate to the C:\Downloads folder
  • Enter the following command to extract the 32-bit setup files:
    • sharepointdesigner_32bit.exe /extract:C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x86
  • Enter the following command to extract the 64-bit setup files:
    • sharepointdesigner_64bit.exe /extract:C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x64
  • Navigate to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42015
  • Download the spdsp2013-kb2817441-fullfile-x86-en-us.exe to the C:\Downloads folder
  • Enter the following command to extract the 32-bit Service Pack 1 setup files:
    • spdsp2013-kb2817441-fullfile-x86-en-us.exe /extract:C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x86\updates
  • Accept the EULA of the Service Pack & Click Continue
  • Navigate to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42009
  • Download the spdsp2013-kb2817441-fullfile-x64-en-us.exe to the C:\Downloads folder
  • Enter the following command to extract the 64-bit Service Pack 1 setup files:
    • spdsp2013-kb2817441-fullfile-x64-en-us.exe /extract:C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x64\updates
  • Accept the EULA of the Service Pack & Click Continue
  • Open Notepad or your favorite text editor
  • Add the following lines:
<Configuration Product="SharePointDesigner">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
</Configuration>
  • Save the file name it: SharePointDesigner2013.xml
  • Copy the SharePointDesigner2013.xml to “C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x86\”
  • Copy the SharePointDesigner2013.xml to “C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013\Files\x64\”
  • Copy the PowerShell script below to “C:\Downloads\SharePointDesigner2013” & name it Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1

.SYNOPSIS
	This script performs the installation or uninstallation of Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2013.
	# LICENSE #
	PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit - Provides a set of functions to perform common application deployment tasks on Windows.

.DESCRIPTION
	The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s).
	The script either performs an "Install" deployment type or an "Uninstall" deployment type.
	The install deployment type is broken down into 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
	The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
	The type of deployment to perform. Default is: Install.
.PARAMETER DeployMode
	Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent, or NonInteractive mode. Default is: Interactive. Options: Interactive = Shows dialogs, Silent = No dialogs, NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. NonInteractive mode is automatically set if it is detected that the process is not user interactive.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
	Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM, a reboot prompt will be triggered.
.PARAMETER TerminalServerMode
	Changes to "user install mode" and back to "user execute mode" for installing/uninstalling applications for Remote Destkop Session Hosts/Citrix servers.
.PARAMETER DisableLogging
	Disables logging to file for the script. Default is: $false.
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "NonInteractive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Interactive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "NonInteractive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-SharePointDesigner2013.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Interactive"
