Hi,

I have a requirement like to Install Desktop POwerBI using PowerShell..

I can download software using Powershell but i I couldnt quiet the process after installation.

I want to automate below steps with the powershell Code.

Currently i'm using this code

$url = "https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/8/0/880BCA75-79DD-466A-927D-1ABF1F5454B0/PBIDesktopSetup_x..."
$destination = "C:\Downloads\PBIDesktop_x64.exe"

# Use Invoke-WebRequest to download the file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination

# Set the installer path to the downloaded executable
$installerPath = $destination

# Start the installation process using the downloaded executable
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Downloads\PBIDesktop_x64.exe" -ArgumentList "/quiet" -Wait -NoNewWindow


Can anyone help me with the code 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @sudheerkumar ,

Please try below code:

# Define the URL for downloading Power BI Desktop
$url = "https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/8/0/880BCA75-79DD-466A-927D-1ABF1F5454B0/PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe"

# Specify the destination path for the downloaded installer
$destination = "C:\Downloads\PBIDesktop_x64.exe"

# Download the Power BI Desktop installer
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination

# Define the installation path (optional, change as needed)
$installPath = "C:\Program Files\Power BI Desktop"

# Start the silent installation process with additional parameters
Start-Process -FilePath $destination -ArgumentList "/quiet ACCEPT_EULA=1 INSTALLLOCATION=$installPath" -Wait -NoNewWindow
