CMPackager VS Chocolatey

CMPackager if you want a single file that does everything

Cmpackager can assist automated application deployment. https://github.com/asjimene/CMPackager

It's not that I didn't like the answer, I just made the post on other platforms to expand it further, since sometimes the community can't be here. The script using -ComObject for internet explorer works very well, it captures the link and if I want I can download it, but the only dissatisfaction is that this command doesn't seem to work on Windows Server. But for you who still don't know why I'm looking to do this via powershell, it's for SCCM using a utility that automates software downloading and publishing for SCCM which is CMPackager

This is the way https://github.com/asjimene/CMPackager

The CMPackager script is really amazing, and if implemented well it can really reduce the number of manual interventions in terms of SCCM applications. But I saw some details about CMPackager. It basically puts the name of the application along with its version, and this is a problem because if there is more than one version (Chrome for example) you will see several entries in the Applications field in SCCM, such as Chrome 97.04692.70, Chrome 97.04692 .71, Chrome 97.04692.72, Chrome 97.04692.73 and this is really annoying. So opening the CMPackager.ps1 I removed the variable "$ApplicationSWVersion" that is related to the display name of the application in SCCM, and so far everything is ok, the script continues to download and create the package and distribute normally the problem is that it cannot just update the content within that same name, as if it depended on always creating a new name in SCCM and that really is a problem. As this log shows, I had a Google Chrome entry in the Applications list in SCCM and its version is 68.127.32839 and the latest version CMPackager found is 97.0.4692.71 but instead of it just changing the version and update the content, it simply skipped that part and ended the script.

Chocolatey Windows software management solution, we use this for installing Python and Deno

Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

On a Windows machine, you can use Chocolatey by running the command.

I've used WSL2 and GHC/Nix--worked without any issues. However, there is Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.

Type the following commands on the Windows terminal to install helm. You can use either Scoop a command-line installer for Windows or Chocolatey which is a Package Manager for Windows to install helm.

While you can install it in many ways, the easiest is using a package manager like Homebrew for macOS or chocolatey for Windows.
