Dear All,

I have a problem in invoking a exe file in the client system from the bigfix server.

I have a application.exe in c:\Program files\MyCompany\AppName\folder. This exe need a config.txt file to run. When i double click the exe in from the client system the application is working well. But when i invoke this client systems exe from the bigfix server, the application throws a error messge “The config.txt is not found”.

When we run a dos command from the server, what will be the folder of the exe? Will the BESClient invoke the exe from c:\Program files\MyCompany\AppName\folder or c:\windows\system32 folder or BESClient’s folder?

Thanks in Advance

Sundaram. D

Hi sundaram,

The current working directory of a process run by the BigFix is “__BESData<fixlet site>”. For instance, “C:\program files\bigfix enterprise\bes client__besdata\actionsite”.

C:
cd "c:\Program files\MyCompany\AppName\folder"
test.exe
