Fixlet Problem

(imported topic written by SimonJuul)

Hi All.

I was hoping some help here, i really have no idea why this fixlet is not installing, even though it is saying “completed” in the console.

Here is the Fixlet, hope someone can help a Brother out :wink:

What happens if you use …

waithidden __Download\BluStarClientSetup.exe /s /v"/qn"

Did you write this as a Fixlet or as a Task?

Have you looked at the Client log files? Any errors?

Hej Tim.

Thank you for giving your time.

Lets just start by saying, that i am new to the hole Endpoint manager.

Never the less i have locked at the logs, and it just tells me that

Command failed (Thread execution failed (2)) waithidden __Download\BluStarClientSetup.exe /s /v"/qn"

and the same with a wait __

I have made it via the Wizard, so i am thinking it is a task.

I hope for your respons

Does the Target machine meet the Pre-requisites?

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Runtime.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Runtime.

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Full.

These were taken from …

As Tim already indicated, I think it should be " instead of %22

Also, this error seems to suggest that the client is having an issue finding “__Download\BluStarClientSetup.exe”.

I would double check that this file exists as it should and try running it from the command line directly to see what happens. Also try it using PSExec.

I had something similar happen last week, with a BroadCom BASP installer. I think that there is something odd with command-line parsing for particular InstallShield-based installers, where BESClient gives this error if the command-line parameters contain doublequote characters; but I’m not at all certain on that count and I will probably not be putting much more effort in to it.

In my case, we worked-around the problem by using appendfile to create a batch file to contain the installation command, and using waithidden to execute the batch.
