Hello, I have a strange issue with a deployment i am trying to build. The Lotus notes fixpack MSI that I have downloaded in a fixlet is trying to search for the install INI. Problem is that it is looking for it in the download directory. I have it by default extracting and installing from c:\windows\temp. here is a copy of the log:

Set property SETUPEXEDIR:C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client__BESData\opsite127

ini location is C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client__BESData\opsite127\deploy\hotfix\fix.ini

Enter ValidateStandardVersion()

fixIniName = C:\Program Files\BigFix Enterprise\BES Client__BESData\opsite127\deploy\hotfix\fix.ini

here is another line further down in log:

Property(S): HOTFIXTEXT = Ensure that you are running installer from correct location. Fix.ini can’t be located from expected location.

its defaulting to the download directory when Im telling it to go to C:windows\temp. Anythought? Is there a way I can run the install from the download directory perhaps?Thanks

Sure Ben

//THINGS TO VERIFY BEFORE DEPLOYMENT

// (1) COMPRESS MULTIPLE FILES INTO .EXE OR .MSI FILE

// (2) CREATE SHA1.EXE HASH ON INSTALLATION FILE AND UPDATE ACTION SCRIPT TO INCLUDE HASH AND FILE SIZE

// (3) UPLOAD INSTALLATION FILE TO BIGFIX SOFTWARE REPO \SERVERNAME\SW$\REGION OR PROGRAM FOLDER\LOCATION\FILENAME

// (4) VERIFY ACTION SCRIPT REFLECTS THE CORRECT URL. EXAMPLE: HTTP://BIGFIXSWREPO.EPA.GOV/SW/REGION OR PROGRAM FOLDER/LOCATION/FILENAME

//DOWNLOAD INSTALLATION FILE FROM THIS LOCATION. INSTALLATION FILE IS FOR LAPTOPS AND DESKTOPS

Looks like a current working directory issue…

Replace the last line with this and see if it works:

appendfile C:
appendfile cd C:
appendfile msiexec /i “C:\ClientUpdate.msi” /q /l* "c:\windows\temp\notes852install.log"
move __appendfile install.bat
waithidden cmd.exe /C install.bat
