Batch Feature Installation w/ Logging (Expanded)

Michael Greene wrote an excellent script earlier today.  Since I like to try what I see, I took the script a bit further and added a bit more of logic.  You can see the original script here Batch Feature Installation w/ Logging.  I’ve added more logic to the URL input, EVENTCREATE, and it’ll install every .wsp that you have in the directory.  Here’s how to use this script:

1. Copy and paste the script into a batch file
2. Place the batch file in the directory that has all of your .wsp’s
3. Run the batch file and type the URL of the Site Collection (don’t worry if you mistype the http:// portion of the URL, I have an error checker for that ;-) )

So what will this do? Add the solution(s), deploy the solution(s), install them, and activate all of them in one fell swoop.  Cool eh?  Great for deployment scenarios or setting up those test box vm’s.  Feel free to add more… As I’m posting this, I already have thought of a way to bulk add .stp’s.  Maybe another post?
