Good morning, I would like to use pickmeapp to capture software installation from a master pc and deploy it to others pc's, can i use a script-command from dos via a batch file and install it automatically? Thanks in advance. Salento.

You can work with the PickMeApp application using command line. You can use this syntax to work with the PickMeApp through command line:
pickmeapp.exe <command> <argument>
PickMeApp supports the following commands:
Commands
/l receive list of installed software
/g capture application
/i install application
/u uninstall application
Examples:
pickmeapp.exe /l
The example above creates PMAOutput.txt file in the PickMeApp folder.
This file contains ID of installed applications and corresponding software names.
Example of the PMAOutput.txt:
{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010
{90140000-00A1-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} Microsoft Office OneNote MUI (English) 2010
…
PickMeApp uses software ID instead of software names, so you should use this file to select software to work with.
pickmeapp.exe /g {90140000-001A-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} Outlook.tap grab.log
The example above
-captures (grabs) the Microsoft Outlook application (using number {90140000-001A-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}
- creates the Outlook.tap file with captured application.
-creates the grab.log file.
pickmeapp.exe /u {90140000-001A-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} uninstall.log
The example above uninstalls the Microsoft Outlook application (by its number {90140000-001A-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} from the PC.
