No, the actual application installation functionality is provided by the software install task and thus OSDAppTree is useless without a task sequence. In the next version (2.6) you will be able to run OSDAppTree before a task sequence and then using a help applet load the choices into a task sequence. Using that, you can then create a simple two task task sequence -- a command-line task to load the choices from a saved data file and a software install task to perform the actual software installs.

Hi. Great tool , i really like it.

Only problem or question i have is i would like to be ble to test this without going through an entire image process. I can run the OSDAppTree.exe and see that the approproiate applications are selected and noted in the log file, but i want to test the installation of the applications selected via the OSDAppTree.exe without having to image a new machine each time.

Anyway to do this?

Awesome, this is working great !! Thanks !!

A couple suggestions for the documentation:

On page 4, the screenshot needs to be updated so it shows the correct Base Variable Name, OSDAppTreeApps.

Also, as someone who is implementing multiple applications for the first time through the TS, maybe include something about the criteria for the programs or informing the user to check the help file on the topic for the information. I knew it had to be a silent install and run whether or not a user is logged on but the checkbox for "Allow this program to be installed from the Install Software task sequence step without being advertised" option in the Advanced tab of the program was something I had never heard of and was a stumbling block for quite awhile for me.

For the vbscript, I use this 1 line:

strCurrentDir = Left(Wscript.ScriptFullName, (InstrRev(Wscript.ScriptFullName, "\") -1))

That will resolve to "wherever this .vbs file was launched from". So whether that is c:\somewhere, or some unc path, it simply doesn't matter. The only thing to be careful of is ensuring that you wrap chr(34) -- double quotes -- around it + whatever file it is you care about in the "currentdir", just in case the foldername has spaces in it.

Here's a sample of me using strcurrentdir: myitforum.com/.../security-certificates-trusted-publishers-and-clickonce-apps.aspx

The URL to the press release has too much in it. I suspect its a redirection URL from an email or web post?

Great solution! Any idea on if this works using standalone media? I've tried but no luck. Guessing it's b/c it doesn't know where to look for the source? Is a source location defined in the scripts?
