How to Deploy a SharePoint 2010 Solution Package Using Windows PowerShell

This topic provides guidance on how to use Microsoft Windows PowerShell to deploy a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Web Solution Packages (WSP).

Prerequisites

• See Using Windows PowerShell for SharePoint 2010 Commerce Deployment for a list of variables and sample values that may be used in sample scripts provided in this topic.

• WSP files must be available locally on the server.

To deploy a SharePoint Solution Packages (WSP) using Windows PowerShell

The following example uses the sample Windows PowerShell script (available in SharePointScripts.zip) to deploy the SharePoint Solution packages (WSP) used for the Solution Storefront. The process involves two distinct actions; adding the WSP files to the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 environment, and then installing them.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"

.\"1-env.ps1"

$farm = get-spfarm

Write-Host "Adding the Solutions"

if($farm.Servers.Count -gt 1)
{
    $FarmProvisioningSolutionPath = $PathToSolutionFiles + $SolutionNameFarmProvisioningLib
    Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath $FarmProvisioningSolutionPath
}

$WebPartSolutionPath = $PathToSolutionFiles + $SolutionNameWebPart
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath $WebPartSolutionPath
$SiteTemplateSolutionPath = $PathToSolutionFiles + $SolutionNameSiteTemplate
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath $SiteTemplateSolutionPath
$BusinessMgtSolutionPath = $PathToSolutionFiles + $SolutionNameBusinessMgt
Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath $BusinessMgtSolutionPath

Write-Host "Deploying the solutions"

if($farm.Servers.Count -gt 1)
{
    Install-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameFarmProvisioningLib -GACDeployment -Force
}

Install-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameWebPart -GACDeployment -WebApplication $WebAppName -Force
Install-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameSiteTemplate -GACDeployment -WebApplication $WebAppName -Force
Install-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameBusinessMgt -GACDeployment -WebApplication $WebAppName -Force


Write-Host "Solutions deploying... this may take a few minutes to complete."

$WebPartDeployed = 0;
$SiteTemplateDeployed = 0;

      if($webSol.Deployed)
      {
          foreach($item in $webSol.DeployedWebApplications) 
          { 
            if ($item.DisplayName -eq $WebAppName) 
            { 
                $WebPartDeployed = 1; 
                break;
            }
          }        
      }
  }
  
  if($SiteTemplateDeployed -eq 0){
      $templateSol = Get-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameSiteTemplate
      if($templateSol.Deployed)

            { 
                $SiteTemplateDeployed = 1; 
                break;
            }
          }  
      }
  }
  
  if($BusinessMgtDeployed -eq 0){
      $businessSol = Get-SPSolution -Identity $SolutionNameBusinessMgt
      if($businessSol.Deployed)
      {       
          foreach($item in $templateSol.DeployedWebApplications) 
          {

                break;
            }
          } 
      }
  }
  
  $totalDeployed = $WebPartDeployed + $SiteTemplateDeployed + $BusinessMgtDeployed;
  
  if($totalDeployed -lt 3)
  {
    Write-Host ".";
    sleep 3;
  }
}
while ( $totalDeployed -lt 3)

Write-Host "."
Write-Host "All applications are now deployed"
