Deploying WSP using Powershell Script

Introduction

I am to share the Powershell script which is use to deploy the wsp.

Script

Follow the below steps to create ps1 file

• Open a notepad and paste this script

try

{

    Write-Host "Please make sure that ""SharePoint Administration"" and ""SharePoint Timer Service"" are running and then Press a key to proceed with installation.."

    $pressedKey = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")

    $currentLocation = Get-Location

    $solutionPath = "Give path of wsp with wsp file"

    #Step 1: Add WSP to solution store

    Write-Host "Adding solution to solution store.. " -ForegroundColor Yellow

    $spSolution = Add-SPSolution $solutionPath

    #Step 2: Deploying the solution to required web application

    #$webApplication = Read-Host "Please enter my site web application url to which solution needs to be deployed (Eg. http://<yourserver:port): "

    Write-Host "Deploying" $spsolution.Name ".." -ForegroundColor Yellow

    Install-SPSolution -Identity $spSolution.Name -GACDeployment

    #Step 3: Waiting for deployed status

    do

    {

        Start-Sleep -Seconds 1

        Write-Host "Waiting for Deployed status.."

    }while(-not($spSolution.Deployed))

   

    #Step 4: Completing installation

    

    Write-Host "wsp installation successful!!!" -ForegroundColor Green

}

catch

{

    Write-Host "Following is the error occurred while executing this script -->" $_

}

• Then, save the text file with .ps1 extension
• This is it, just run the powershell script file to deploy the wsp
