MSI installer for WinSCP? :: Support Forum

An MSI is still a core part of PCLM with SCCM and various MDM platforms. Not having it is pretty poor and, let's be honest I reckon you could figure it out in 15 years...

Unofficial MSI Installer Available for WinSCP 5.17.10

2021-04-10 18:38

THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL INSTALLER THAT IS NOT ENDORSED BY OR AFFILIATED WITH THE WINSCP PROJECT. DO NOT CONTACT WINSCP FOR SUPPORT WITH THIS INSTALLER. IT IS PROVIDED AS-IS STRICTLY FOR CONVENIENCE.

You can download the MSI installer from https://www.planarrift.com/Deployment/WinSCP/WinSCP_Setup_5.17.10.msi

This installer is a basic installer that deploys the WinSCP portable ZIP contents into a folder in Program Files, creates a start menu shortcut, and satisfies MSI detection criteria for easy SCCM/MECM deployment. It does not have any customization options, register any file types, etc.

The VirusTotal report for the installer can be reviewed here:

WinSCP via SCCM

2021-04-10 18:59

If you want to use the official installer to deploy via SCCM/MECM, use the "Script" installer type and the below command line (example for 5.17.2). For future releases, as long as they don't use a new installer technology, the only things you need to change are the version number in the setup.exe name and the version number in the Value Data property. Possibly the winscp3_is1 piece of the Key also if it stores in a different registry key.

WinSCP-5.17.2-Setup.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /ALLUSERS

Use the following detection criteria:

Type: Registry
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\winscp3_is1
Value Name: DisplayVersion
Data Type: Version
Make sure to check the box: "This registry key is associated with a 32-bit application on 64-bit systems"
Select "The registry setting must satisfy the following rule to indicate the presence of this application"
Operator: Greater than or equal to
Value Data: 5.17.2

Thanks for sharing your solution. But the link timeouts (I've tried different locations, even different countries). – Yes, I see that virustotal.com seems to be able to access your link.
