OBS Studio

For unattended Windows deployment, use the official OBS Studio download or GitHub release source and run the full installer silently with OBS-Studio-*-Full-Installer-x64.exe /S. OBS launch automation should use the documented double-hyphen parameters, for example obs64.exe --profile "Studio" --collection "Default" --startrecording; keep these as plain ASCII hyphens so scripts do not inherit smart-dash copy/paste failures. Official launch-parameter reference: OBS launch parameters.

For managed updates, close OBS before starting the installer. Windows OBS Studio x64 updates can fail with Exit Code 6 / package-in-use behavior when OBS is running, so Intune, ConfigMgr, RMM, or PSADT deployments should include OBS-specific conflicting-process handling for obs64.exe / obs.exe before retrying. Source packages should come from obsproject.com/download or the official obsproject/obs-studio releases.

Also pre-stage the Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable for both x64 and x86 before managed OBS Studio x64 installs or updates. Treat the Visual C++ runtimes as explicit prerequisites in Intune, ConfigMgr, or RMM packages; OBS Studio can otherwise fail before the installer reaches the normal upgrade path. Microsoft’s current redistributable downloads are published at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist.

OBS Studio updates can fail with Exit Code 6, a package-in-use condition, when OBS is open. Close OBS Studio before managed upgrades so the full installer can update the running application files. Source: official OBSStudio source.

For managed OBS Studio updates, close OBS Studio before launching the Windows installer. An active OBS session can make setup fail with Exit Code 6 / Package In Use behavior, so include a pre-close or user-deferral step before retrying the update.
