Scripting Bigfix Installation via .BAT File

Hey everyone,

I’m working on deploying Bigfix via script, and running into some issues. Here’s the command I’m using:

“\someservername\Automation_Installs\Bigfix\setup.exe” /i /L"1033" /v/quiet /v"INSTALLDIR=“D:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client”"

Also included in this folder is the following files:

“clientsettings.cfg”
“masthead.afxm”

Though Bigfix does attempt to install, it doesn’t appear to be using the clientsettings and masthead files. If we install without a script, by manually running the setup.exe, it works with no issues. Is there a switch that needs to be included to get the exe to recognize the clientsettings and masthead files? Do I have an error in my script?

If someone could provide examples on how to do this properly, that would be fantastic.

Thanks everyone!

Is this the same discussion as How to install BESclient in a batch file ?
