<# .SYNOPSIS This script performs the installation or uninstallation of QuickBooks Enterprise 2022. # LICENSE # PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit - Provides a set of functions to perform common application deployment tasks on Windows.

If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. .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: $false. .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "NonInteractive" .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Silent" .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Interactive" .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "NonInteractive" .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Silent" .EXAMPLE PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-QuickBooksEnterprise2022.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Interactive" .NOTES Toolkit Exit Code Ranges: 60000 - 68999: Reserved for built-in exit codes in Deploy-Application.ps1, Deploy-Application.exe, and AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 69000 - 69999: Recommended for user customized exit codes in Deploy-Application.ps1 70000 - 79999: Recommended for user customized exit codes in AppDeployToolkitExtensions.ps1 .LINK http://psappdeploytoolkit.com #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [ValidateSet('Install','Uninstall','Repair')] [string]$DeploymentType = 'Install', [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [ValidateSet('Interactive','Silent','NonInteractive')] [string]$DeployMode = 'Interactive', [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [switch]$AllowRebootPassThru = $false, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [switch]$TerminalServerMode = $false, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)] [switch]$DisableLogging = $false ) Try { ## Set the script execution policy for this process Try { Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy 'ByPass' -Scope 'Process' -Force -ErrorAction 'Stop' } Catch {} ##*=============================================== ##* VARIABLE DECLARATION ##*=============================================== ## Variables: Application [string]$appVendor = 'Intuit' [string]$appName = 'QuickBooks Enterprise' [string]$appVersion = '2022' [string]$appArch = '' [string]$appLang = '' [string]$appRevision = '' [string]$appScriptVersion = '1.0.0' [string]$appScriptDate = 'XX/XX/20XX' [string]$appScriptAuthor = 'Jason Bergner' ##*=============================================== ## Variables: Install Titles (Only set here to override defaults set by the toolkit) [string]$installName = '' [string]$installTitle = 'Intuit QuickBooks Enterprise 2022' ##* Do not modify section below #region DoNotModify ## Variables: Exit Code [int32]$mainExitCode = 0 ## Variables: Script [string]$deployAppScriptFriendlyName = 'Deploy Application' [version]$deployAppScriptVersion = [version]'3.8.4' [string]$deployAppScriptDate = '26/01/2021' [hashtable]$deployAppScriptParameters = $psBoundParameters ## Variables: Environment If (Test-Path -LiteralPath 'variable:HostInvocation') { $InvocationInfo = $HostInvocation } Else { $InvocationInfo = $MyInvocation } [string]$scriptDirectory = Split-Path -Path $InvocationInfo.MyCommand.Definition -Parent ## Dot source the required App Deploy Toolkit Functions Try { [string]$moduleAppDeployToolkitMain = "$scriptDirectory\AppDeployToolkit\AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1" If (-not (Test-Path -LiteralPath $moduleAppDeployToolkitMain -PathType 'Leaf')) { Throw "Module does not exist at the specified location [$moduleAppDeployToolkitMain]." } If ($DisableLogging) { . $moduleAppDeployToolkitMain -DisableLogging } Else { . $moduleAppDeployToolkitMain } } Catch { If ($mainExitCode -eq 0){ [int32]$mainExitCode = 60008 } Write-Error -Message "Module [$moduleAppDeployToolkitMain] failed to load: `n$($_.Exception.Message)`n `n$($_.InvocationInfo.PositionMessage)" -ErrorAction 'Continue' ## Exit the script, returning the exit code to SCCM If (Test-Path -LiteralPath 'variable:HostInvocation') { $script:ExitCode = $mainExitCode; Exit } Else { Exit $mainExitCode } } #endregion ##* Do not modify section above ##*=============================================== ##* END VARIABLE DECLARATION ##*=============================================== If ($deploymentType -ine 'Uninstall' -and $deploymentType -ine 'Repair') { ##*=============================================== ##* PRE-INSTALLATION ##*=============================================== [string]$installPhase = 'Pre-Installation' ## Show Welcome Message, Close QuickBooks With a 60 Second Countdown Before Automatically Closing Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps 'IntuitDataProtect,QBW,QBW32,qbupdate,QBIDPService,Intuit.QBDT.Webconnector.Application,Intuit.QBDT.Webconnector.QBWCMonitor,Intuit.QuickBooks.FCS,QBCFMonitorService' -CloseAppsCountdown 60 ## Show Progress Message (With a Message to Indicate the Application is Being Uninstalled) Show-InstallationProgress -StatusMessage "Removing Any Existing Version of QuickBooks Enterprise 2022.
