# PSAppDeployToolkit - What is it and why do we use it?

October 1, 2024 , by Dan Goss

## What is the PSAppDeployToolkit?

The Powershell Application Deployment Toolkit or PSADT is an essential tool for the Application Packaging team at Workspace IT. It is a powerful and robust wrapper that I would encourage anyone who is into application packaging or application deployments to spend a little time getting familiar with.

## What does the PSAppDeployToolkit do?

Well, if delivered as part of the payload or installation media of an app package, it can be used to control the installation. If you have multiple MSI's with MST's you can script them all in order and just call the overarching executable at launch and it will take care of the rest.

## Why do we use PSAppDeployToolkit?

PSADT is a very complete toolkit that already has inbuilt features for many scenarios that an applications packager will likely experience on a day-to-day basis. For example, there is an inbuilt command that can uninstall all versions of a particular application by name without needing the relevant MSI product code. You can use PSADT to copy files or directories into user profile locations at the point of install.

##### Favourite Features

Two of my favorite features of PSADT are the logging and the customization:

The logging is consistent and easy to read. It clearly tells you the exit codes or what is wrong with your package. Error handling is fairly robust, and the exit codes are well documented online. This makes PSADT easy to learn and troubleshoot.

Customization isn't necessary for every application, but it is important if you have multiple customers with different requirements.  
At Workspace IT we place our customers' needs and wants at the forefront of any solution.
