Silent Executable Fixlet Troubleshooting

The two most frequent issues that generally come up, are that the BES Client is running the installation using the LocalSystem account, and the BES client is running in 32-bit mode.

The easiest way to test these is by using psexec from www.microsoft.com/sysinternals.

You’d use
psexec -i -s c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe to open a 64-bit command prompt and use that to see if your setup works ok using the LocalSystem account.

Next, try using
psexec -i -s c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe to see if it still works using the LocalSystem account in 32-bit mode.

Let us know whether either or both of these fail and we can help with workarounds for each.
