I am trying to install a media device driver on a Windows 2008R2 server using the pnputil command.

prefetch “Win7_mini_driver.tmp” sha1:f3419afd2d4fbdb23e8a617b50fd36ba27c6c98e size:212204 “http://patch.marriott.com/MultiFactor/64 bit/Win7_mini_driver.zip”

extract Win7_mini_driver.tmp

//Entrust Smart Card Minidriver installation for Windows 7

runhidden “{((pathname of system folder) & “\pnputil.exe”)}” -i -a “{((pathname of client folder of current site) & “__download\entcrypt.inf”)}”

I have tried run, wait, and dos. Doesn’t run with any of them and gets thread execution failed on the run and wait commands.

I cant see what error is being thrown up because 2008R2 wont let you create a cmd.exe interactively and you don’t have access do the session 0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try putting this command at the beginning of the action (disables WOW64 redirection):

action uses wow64 redirection false
