Automatic installation of perccli on windows 2019 using PowerShell command
Hi
I want to install Dell perccli for raid controller detection on Windows 2019 os. I downloaded the driver from Dell download driver page
It is in form of an exe. The installation instructions say to click on the exe and follow the steps but I want to automate the process using a PowerShell (.PS1) script. And I want to install at a different location than the default one
I tried using unzip command which works on Windows 2022 but that is not supported on windows 2019 and below.
If I run the exe directly from PowerShell using & PERCCLI_xxx.exe it still launches the UI.
How can I install the perccli automatically at my desired location on windows 2019 without going into interactive mode.
I tried Expand-Archive, a PowerShell native command but that gives error as can not extract an .exe It only works on .zip
Would appreciate any ideas
Thank you

isnt the perc cli a simple exe with not DLL requirements at the end? Why bother with the f*cked installer, pull out the exe and do what you want with. With have a companter "bin" folder which we installed under "companyname" under c:\programmfiles and add it to system %PATH%. All this is down with a simple batch file.
