Windows 10: Powershell command for installing exe and msi

Can someone help me with powershell commands for installing some exe and msi files from a pendrive?

I have apps like Cisco Jabber (MSI), Cisco AnyConnect (exe), Dell Command Update (MSI), and Webex Teams(MSI) I need to add to my powershell script to automatically install the software.

1: Not sure how to set the script so it knows where the installer file is located on the pendrive.

2: Need proper syntax for auto installing an executable or MSI.

Thanks in advance!

PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

Retrieve and Install Sticky Notes via PowerShell

Hi Matty,

Reinstalling an application via PowerShell needs an administrator access to continue. If you have administrator access, you can follow the steps below to install Sticky Notes using PowerShell:

• Open PowerShell with admin rights. To do so, type Windows
  PowerShell in the search box to see PowerShell in results, right-click on PowerShell, and then click
  Run as administrator option.
• In the PowerShell prompt, type the following command and press the Enter key:
  
  Get-Appxpackage –Allusers
  
  Scroll down and locate the entry of the app that you want to reinstall and copy the package name. Since you are looking for the Sticky Notes app, locate the Sticky Notes entry, and then copy the package name of Sticky Notes.
  
• Now, you will need to execute the following command to add the app:
  
  Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PackageFullName\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
  
  Replace PackageFullName term in the above command with the copied PackageFullName information from step 2.
  

If you do not have an administrator access to your computer, we suggest that you contact your IT admin to be able to install Sticky Notes via PowerShell.
