Software Deploy Task to run a bat file

(imported topic written by ppomeroy91)

I’m trying to create a Software Deploy Task to run a bat file. It is “almost” complete. You guys can probably tell me right away what I have wrong. Here’s the Command in the Task:

download http://bigfixsvr.BurstHQ.burstmedia.local:52311/Uploads/3ab08e00e7f2761e09602ccd0fcc8292bae359d4/App.tmp

continue if {(size of it = 605830 AND sha1 of it = “3ab08e00e7f2761e09602ccd0fcc8292bae359d4”) of file “App.tmp” of folder “__Download”}

extract App.tmp

wait cmd.exe /C “{{(pathname of client folder of current site) _Download\RunCleanWipe.bat”}

Here’s the log file. It appears to be successful and the Action reports Completed however it is not actually “running” the bat file and doing what it’s supposed to (remove the software). The files ARE being downloaded.

You have an syntax errors in your relevance substitution. Try this:

wait cmd.exe /C “{(pathname of client folder of current site)}__Download\RunCleanWipe.bat”

You also probably want to use waithidden instead of wait

let me add, it’s downloading the files and says Command Succeeded but it’s not running the bat file.

Did you remove the dual “{{”? Your logs seem to indicate that it might still be there… And note that it returns “command succeeded” because it was able to execute cmd.exe, but that doesn’t necessarily indicate the batch file worked…

You might try with the relative path for simplicity:

waithidden cmd.exe /C “__Download\SCS_CleanWipe.bat”

If that doesn’t work, can you please post the contents of the .bat file (if it is using relative file paths, that could be an issue)…

Hi, thank you for your help.

Here’s the log file. The bat file is relatively simple and came from Symantec.

Here’s the bat file that it calls as well.

I don’t understand the below message.

Not Relevant - Software Distribution - Deploy: SCSCleanWipe-5

How can it be not relevant when I’m targeting ALL computers?

It looks like your batch file uses relative paths, which is probably the problem that you are seeing…

Add:

cd __Download

as the first line in SCS_CleanWipe.bat and hopefully that fixes it…

That was still unsuccessful. I’m not trying to skip the initial SCS_CleanWipe and go right for the RunCleanWipe.bat file. Again, it is downloading but it’s not running the bat file. I can successfully run the bat file from the download location by hand. Here’s the client log and attached is the bat file.
