The quest to make all my install wrappers evergreen continues and in this post I’m going to share the ever popular screen capture tool GreenShot.
Check my Github repo for all available scripts.
Be aware that there’s a GreenShot.ini located in %AppData% which you would want to edit to disable application update -> UpdateCheckInterval=0

I prefer the ZIP-way [1], then you dont have to deal with the annoying iexplore.exe.

Agree Markus, but in terms of my deployment which are 100% automated it really doesn’t bother me. For others reading this, the ZIP way is the only way around.
