NeverRed is a simple PowerShell script to download and install the latest version for several common enterprise Windows applications. The script consists a number of simple functions to use in EUC environments like:
- Disabling the auto update of the software (e.g. Adobe Reader, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, etc.)
- Right installers or parameters during installation (e.g. machine-based install for Microsoft OneDrive, Slack or Microsoft Teams)
- Add customizations after installation (e.g. reg hacks or customizations to files at Microsoft FSLogix or Microsoft Teams)
- Search for current versions on obscure pages (e.g. Cisco Webex)
Exactly this is where I wanted to remedy with NeverRed.
- No more searching for the current version on the confusing manufacturer pages
- Comparison of the installed version on the system, with the current one from the Internet
- Automatic download of the current version (and for some software, even the current ADMX files)
- Uninstalling (if necessary) the software and installing the current new version with the correct parameters
- Adjustment of the scheduled tasks and services, so that no automatic updates can interfere with them
- Adaptation of the new software to the specifics of the operating system (e.g. addition of the Scheduled Task for Windows Server 2019 and newer when installing Microsoft FSLogix for the “Event ID 2 wsearch” bug)
How NeverRed Works
NeverRed uses several approaches to automatically get the version number and download URL for the applications.
Various strategies and PowerShell modules are used for this purpose:
- Evergreen PowerShell Module by Aaron Parker
- Nevergreen PowerShell Module by Dan Gough
- Custom web scraping functions by Manuel Winkel
Why
There are community and commercial products that manage application deployment and updates already. This script isn’t intended to compete against those.
NeverRed’s focus is to provide a simple solution to keep standard software up to date without having to package it or search and compare versions on vendor sites.
Versioning
The script uses an enumerated version notation. It can be assumed that the script undergoes changes on a regular basis. The version numbering is therefore intended to make it as easy as possible to track whether you are using the current version. See the Changelog for details of each change.
The script automatically detects if it is up to date when started on a system with internet, and if it is not, an automatic update is offered.
“Installing the Script”
PowerShell Support
NeverRed supports Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.0+. NeverRed should work on PowerShell Core 6.x; however, I’m not actively testing on that version of PowerShell, so support cannot be guaranteed.
Some downloads unfortunately only work with PowerShell 7.x, so this version is recommended. PowerShell 7 can be installed via NeverRed. The script will detect this on the next startup and change the desktop shortcut to use PowerShell 7 on the next startup.
Download from GitHub
The NeverRed script is published to GitHub and can be found here: NeverRed
This is the best and recommended method to get NeverRed.
Start the script
The script can be started directly after download in an administrative PowerShell window.
GUI Method
! Important !
NeverRed can be accessed and started both locally and from a UNC path.

.\NeverRed.ps1 |
The script is started by default with LastSetting.txt stored in the same folder. If you want to start the GUI with another file, use the -GUIfile parameter.
The GUI of NeverRed appears with the selectable software on the General page.
Via the Select Mode options arranged above, the following can be defined.
- Download
- If the selected software is to be downloaded only
- Install
- If the selected software is to be installed (if the installation files have already been downloaded in advance via NeverRed)
- Download & Install
- If the software is to be downloaded first and then installed
Splitting the functions related to downloading and installing is often used when the target computer does not have an Internet connection.
Global settings for the selected software can be set via the options Select Language, Select Architecture and Select Installer Type.
Of course, this is only taken into effect if the program makes this selection available during download or installation.
The settings regarding language (Select Language), architecture (Select Architecture) and installer type (Select Installer Type) can be adjusted individually for each software on the detail page. The settings on the detail page overwrite the global settings for the software.
Under Select Installer Type, a differentiation is made between User Based (Laptop, Static Citrix Worker, etc.) and Machine Based (Random Citrix Worker, RDS Host).
For some software further selectable options are available, like the update channel / ring or the license version.
All settings are saved locally in the LastSetting.txt file when you click on Save or Start and are automatically read from there the next time you start the program. By clicking on Save, the LastSetting.txt is created without starting an installation.
On the Detail page, the software selected under General is also already selected. If something is changed to the selected software on the Detail page, this is also transferred.
The global settings regarding language (Select Language), architecture (Select Architecture) and installer type (Select Installer Type) can be adjusted individually for each software on the detail page. This overwrites the global setting for this software.
Additionally, Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project can be selected. If this is the case, the install.xml for Microsoft 365 Apps or Microsoft Office is extended with the selected options.
Four optional modes are available on the detail page:
- WhatIf Mode
- If this is active, the set activities are simulated
- No installers are downloaded or installed
- You can only see in the output if there is newer software
- The only activity, the script performs, is the creation of the FW log, General log and the Install log
A message is displayed that you are in WhatIf mode.
- Installer Repository Mode
- In Installer Repository Mode, the installers of the selected software are copied to the folder _Repository before the new download is started
- Installer CleanUp Mode
- In Installer CleanUp Mode, the installers of the selected software are deleted after installation
- This can be used on Golden Image servers to keep it clean
- Start Menu CleanUp Mode
- In Start Menu CleanUp Mode, the start menu entries of the installed software are deleted after installation
- This can be used on Golden Image servers to keep the start menu clean
- Report Mode
- If this option is enabled, a report is created for the enabled software
- The report contains the information whether there is a new version on the Internet and/or locally
- No installers are downloaded or installed
- The report is displayed in the window and saved in the Report log under _Report
- Disable NeverRed Icon Mode
- No NeverRed icon will be created on the desktop and existing ones will be deleted
Under the ControlUp windows, the required information for the ControlUp Agent (ControlUp Authentication Key) and ControlUp Edge DX (ControlUp Edge DX Device Registration Code / ControlUp Edge DX Tenant Name) can be entered.
The saved ControlUp Agent information are stored next to the installer. (AuthKey.txt).
The saved ControlUp Edge DX information are stored next to the installer. (DevRegCode.txt & TenantName.txt).
In addition, you can select your own XML file under Custom Microsoft 365 Apps or Microsoft Office XML File and this will then be copied (overwrites any install.xml). The process for copying and renaming is triggered via Save and Start.
! Important !
When this is used, the options set via NeverRed (Add Visio / Project, Language, Architecture) are not applied.
Unattended Method
If NeverRed is to be started via a scheduled task or third-party software, this can be preconfigured via parameters.
|
1 |
.\NeverRed.ps1 -ESFile LastSetting.txt |
Download the script and run it in an Administrative PowerShell Console.
With the parameter -ESFile the GUI is not started to define the settings, but the passed configuration file is read, which was created before via the GUI method (LastSetting.txt).
The file does not have to be named LastSetting.txt, but is created that way by the script and can be adapted to the needs.
Third-Party Method (e.g. BIS-F)
For this purpose, the StartNeverRed.ps1 script should be adapted with regard to the correct path and the required configuration file. Afterward, the adapted script should be saved, e.g. in BIS-F under Custom Scripts.
Updating the Script
If you have started a previous version of the script in GUI Mode, you get a message that an update is available and whether it should be executed.
When starting with the -ESFile & -GUIfile parameter, this is done automatically and then the new script version is started again with the configuration file.
LastSetting.txt
To create a LastSetting.txt GUI-based, simply run NeverRed without parameters and select your settings and software in the GUI.
Click on Save and then cancel the script via Cancel. You can use the LastSetting.txt file created in NeverRed folder for your parameter start.
Of course, you can also build the file manually. Here is a short explanation of the individual lines (settings).
