Error 1612: The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi Everyone,

New here and I am using the trial version (we’re looking to license up after we can prove concept). It keeps saying that it can’t find PsExec.exe however I’ve put this on both the server and the user’s machines, with no joy. I can run almost every other option without a problem, can ping, remote restart and see disk space etc. However I can’t seem to check for, let alone install updates.

Any help greatly appreciated.

(more than willing to accept this could be a “PEBCAK” issue.

Thanks

PsExec.exe only needs to be on the computer that is running BatchPatch. It does not need to be on the target computers.

In 99.9% of cases PsExec.exe can simply be placed into C:Windows on the BatchPatch computer. In rare cases this might not be sufficient. If you have already tried putting PsExec.exe into C:Windows with no luck, then the next step is to put PsExec.exe into the same folder/directory as BatchPatch.exe. Then when you launch BatchPatch.exe it should always find PsExec.exe without problems.

Another option is to modify where BatchPatch looks for PsExec.exe by going to ‘Tools > Settings > Remote Execution > Use psexec.exe custom filepath’

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks Doug,

Moving the PsExec.exe and the BatchPatch.exe to the same directory fixed it.

Thanks for your help.
