Hello,
I am having issues with integrating and deploying an application in the client production environment. Each time a deploy action is attempted, it fails with exit code 1 without being able to execute the install command for the setup.exe file.
The application is hardware dependent on Lenovo X1 Yoga and Win 10 OS. It was packaged with a custom .vbs file to fit required production deployment parameters but I’ve tried adding only the setup.exe file in Bigfix with the .exe install command and the result is the same. Not sure at this point where the issue might be. The deployments from our environment are only run with the SYSTEM account on all of the devices.
When manually running the vbs and setup with psexec to simulate the SYSTEM account on the target device, using the exact same command lines , the application will install with no issues. Same goes for an installation using the ADMIN account on the deivce.
I’ve attempted to upload the app files in the Software distribution dashboard both compressed and uncompressed, with a folder or with by adding file by file. File integrity on server appears to be ok.
I’ve set the _BESClient_Download_NormalStageDiskLimitMB parameter on the client to 25000 just to be safe.
I’ve bypassed the OS and Hardware dependency and deployed on several other devices, same issue occurs. Used both wscript and cscript for the cmd line.
The setup file appears to be a standard installshield affair. The application itself also contains drivers
The install log for the app goes like this :

Somehow I suspect that either the setup cannot be initialized because it was corrupted when uploading to Bigfix local server or that, for some reason this cannot be run though it.
/SL5="$20048,2032494,119296**, - i’ve not been able to determine the exact source of this
Please advise, if possible, on how to fix this. This is the only application for which I’ve encountered this issue. If I forgot to add details from my testing , I would be happy to provide them.
