Deploy Software Using BP Question

[doug]

In the deployment configuration window you would have to manually modify the ‘Command to execute’ field to make the syntax what you want it to be.

Thanks for the reply. I know where to edit the command in BatchPatch but I do not know what I need to do to get the MSI to run and also use the Site Key.

This is from Spiceworks concerning installing their collection agent using 3rd party programs:

If you want to use a 3rd party program, such as PDQ, to deploy the agent, here are the important things to note:

Parameters: SITE_KEY=<Your site key>. Your site key is displayed when you download the agent.

MSI Options: Operation: Install Restart: Never Quiet: Yes

Success Codes: 0, 1641, 3010

Command Line: msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /qn SITE_KEY=”your-site-key”

I’m unable to test this myself because I don’t have the .msi in question, but I would try the following syntax options in the ‘Command to execute’ field. I’d expect that at least one of them should work. Let me know.

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /qn SITE_KEY=”CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0″

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /q SITE_KEY=”CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0″

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /qn SITE_KEY=CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /q SITE_KEY=CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /qn SITE_KEY=’CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0′

msiexec.exe /i SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi /q SITE_KEY=’CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0′

None of those worked as expected.

I tried this and it worked:

msiexec.exe /i “SpiceworksAgentShell_Collection_Agent.msi” /qn SITE_KEY=”CY3qdCi8EPHqDbHAsWd0″

Glad you got it worked out! That’s my mistake. All of my examples were intended to have the .msi in quotes. Thanks for reporting back.
