Can't run HPIA truly silently

[Megabyte24 · Accepted solution]

For the current version (5.3.1), this kills at least HP Image Assistant GUI that appears after the installer runs, which is the only thing that prevents scripted use of the cmd line version post that, until closed. I am going to just refocus the script window over the File Explorer window to the cmd/hui file, as the PC is restarted at conclusion of the rest of my script.

[system.collections.arraylist]$ToKillWindows = @("hpimageassistant.dll")

do
{

  foreach($ToKillWindow in $ToKillWindows)
  {
    $Process = get-process -name $ToKillWindow -erroraction silentlycontinue

    if($Process)
    {
      try
      {
        stop-process $Process
      }
      catch
      {
        #Do logging here
      }

     $i++

    }

    start-sleep -seconds 5

  }

}
until($i -eq $ToKillWindows.count)
