Is it possible to use PowerCLI to update only the VMCI driver?

[JoeyDeacon]

Hi all,

I'm rolling out an Agentless antivirus solution to our environment soon & so I need to install the 'VMCI Driver -> NSX File Introspection Driver' as part of the process.

I'm trying to work out how to do this with Powershell/PowerCLI but I see no option to do so without installing everything.  Preferably, I'd install just the driver mentioned above (without the 'Shared Folders' option) & leave the currently install components alone.

I believe that the below code would achieve what I want but I'm not sure it can be passed to the PowerCLI Update-Tools cmdlet:

/S /v "/qn REBOOT=R ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Hgfs"

No, I'm afraid you can't do that with the Update-Tools cmdlet.

But you can, provided you have the installation file somewhere, do this from PowerShell.
