Download Folder

I am trying to install an application using BigFix Software Distribution using an MSI file . The install works fine , but the final phase of the install requires the MSI file to be there to complete the install after reboot.

The problem is that the agent clears the download folder after a reboot so the last part of the install can’t find the MSI file.

Any way around this?

Thanks

Alan

What about just copying the msi to a new folder? After it extracts, copy it out somewhere and install from that new location?

Thanks I’ll try that.

Hi,

we’ve just released the new Software Distribution tool which should make this process easier. Please see the forum post here: http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?pid=27181#27181
