Silent Install of TortoiseSVN

What is It?

TortoiseSVN is an Apache™ Subversion (SVN) client, implemented as a Windows shell extension. It's intuitive and easy to use, since it doesn't require the Subversion command line client to run.

The source is available for download here.

How to Install Silently?

To Install:

Step 1: Download the source from web and get the installer "TortoiseSVN-1.9.5.27581-x64-svn-1.9.5.msi"

Step 2: Run following command:
"%windir%\System32\msiexec.exe" /i "TortoiseSVN-1.9.5.27581-x64-svn-1.9.5.msi" /qn /norestart
           /i: to install the Windows Installer
           /qn: silent install with no user interface
           /norestart: suppresses any reboot prompt along-with hard reboot itself

To Uninstall:

Run following command:

"%windir%\System32\msiexec.exe" /x {product code} /qn /norestart
           /x: to uninstall the Windows Installer
          {product code}: for version 1.9.5.27581 it is {1655E9E4-04C9-414E-8581-6D1162DFB802}

Additional Notes:

• Above mentioned install/uninstall instructions are created based on version 1.9.5.27581 of TortoiseSVN in 64-bit machine.
• Ensure that TortoiseSVN (TSVNCache.exe & svn.exe) isn't running when installing or uninstalling application, to make sure no user data is lost.

Note: This can be taken care by a new feature introduced from SCCM 1702 onwards. "Install Behavior" option under "Deployment Method" enables process kill before install process executes. So, people using SCCM latest version, can use this feature rather than Taskkill in Windows.

• Command executions are based on SCCM platform or used with tools like PsExec, to make them run in System Context only.
• Suggested detection Method in SCCM:
