Powershell script in action script

Hi Guys, me again.

I’ve created a powershell script that pops up a message. I used the icon from the BigFix client. When I run my script in powershell it works perfectly.

I’ve created following code in the action script:

// Enter your action script here

delete __createfile

delete run_{id of active action}.bat


// Use .bat to set working directory to packages root, for setup command.
createfile until _end_

[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon

$objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client\__BESData\__UICache\_clientui.ico"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Info" 
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "x" 
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "x" 

$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True 
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(300)



_end_

move __createfile run_{id of active action}.ps1


action uses wow64 redirection {not x64 of operating system}

override wait
hidden=false
completion=job
wait powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file run_{id of active action}.ps1

When I run it, i can see an extra icon, but no pop up balloon:

This should be the result (when i run it with powershell):

Does anybody have any idea what i’m doing wrong?

Here is my Log:

As always, a great appreciation for all your help!

What are you trying to achieve?

I think you would need it to run as the current user for the user to see it.

That was it, just added the code

runas=currentuser

and now the message is visible!

Thanks for your help @jgstew, appreciate it.
