Installing PDF Filter with Powershell

Hi,

Recently we have worked on installing PDF Filter with the power shell.

Along with the script, PDFFilter64installer, pdf16 image was copied in the same folder.

Below is the code as below

//PDFFilterInstall_Batch.bat

Powershell.exe -Command Set-ExecutionPolicy "Bypass"

Powershell.exe -Command "& {E:\PDFFilter\PDFFilterScript.ps1}"

Pause

// PDFFilterScript.ps1

Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"

$0 = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition                 # Get complete file path (eg:  E:\SP2010AppServer\SetupInputs.xml)

$dp0 = [System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($0)           # Get current Directory  file path  (eg:  E:\SP2010AppServer)

$bits = Get-Item $dp0 | Split-Path -Parent              # Get current Drive   (eg:  E:\)

function InstallPDFFilter()

{

                $installationPackagePath = $dp0

                $installationPackageFileName = "PDFFilter64installer.msi"

                $logoFileName = "pdf16.gif"   

    $searchServiceApplication = "EnterPrise Search Service Application"

    $filterIconPath = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\"

    #Install PDF iFilter package

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "- Installing PDF Filter..."

    try

    {

        Start-Process "$installationPackagePath\$installationPackageFileName" -ArgumentList "/passive /norestart" -WindowStyle Minimized -Wait

        If (-not $?) {throw}

    }

    catch

    {

        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "- Error: $LastExitCode"

                                If ($LastExitCode -eq "1") {throw "- Another instance of this application is already running"}

    }

    if($pdfMapping -eq $null -or $pdfMapping -eq "")

    {

        # Create new node:

        $pdfMapping = $xmldata.CreateElement("Mapping")

        $pdfMapping.SetAttribute("Key","pdf")

        $pdfMapping.SetAttribute("Value",$logoFileName)

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "- Restart SharePoint Timer Service..."

    IISReset

}

InstallPDFFilter

Finally after executing the script you can see the PDF icon in the crawl extensions as below
