How to Install Silently?

To Install:

Step 1: Download the source from web and get the installer "TortoiseGit-2.4.0.2-64bit.msi"

Step 2: Run following command:
msiexec.exe TortoiseGit-2.4.0.2-64bit.msi /i /qn /norestart

                /qn: for silent installation
                /i: to install the Windows Installer
                /norestart: suppresses any restart or its prompt at the end of or during install.

To Uninstall:

Run following command:

"msiexec.exe" /x {48F51D96-6216-47E6-A8E8-1A4EF27AFDCC} /qn /norestart

Additional Notes:

• Above mentioned install/uninstall instructions are created based on version 2.4.0.2 of TortoiseGit in 64-bit machine.

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:
