Description

This cmdlet contains more than one parameter set. You may only use parameters from one parameter set, and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. For more information about how to use parameter sets, see Cmdlet Parameter Sets (https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/scripting/developer/cmdlet/cmdlet-parameter-sets?view=powershell-5.1).

The Install-SPSolution cmdlet deploys an installed SharePoint solution in the farm. Use the Add-SPSolution cmdlet to install a SharePoint solution package in the farm.

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE 1------------------

Install-SPSolution -Identity contoso_solution.wsp -GACDeployment

This example deploys the installed SharePoint solution contoso_solution.wsp in the farm and specifies that GAC can be deployed for the new SharePoint solution.

------------------EXAMPLE 2------------------

Install-SPSolution -Identity contoso_solution.wsp -GACDeployment -CompatibilityLevel {14,15}

This example deploys the installed SharePoint solution installs a previously added solution so it can be used correctly in both 14 and 15 mode site collections.

Parameters

-AllWebApplications

Specifies that the new SharePoint solution is deployed for all SharePoint web applications in the farm.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
