Software Deployment (TightVNC) – Weird unable to locate file issue

[Informatique Cinematheque]

Good evening,

I’ve been successfully using the BatchPatch Software for several months now.

I’ve been attempting to deploy the software TightVNC after figuring out what the proper command line was, here it is :

msiexec.exe /i “tightvnc-2.8.11-gpl-setup-64bit.msi” /q /norestart ADDLOCAL=Server SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=******** SET_VIEWONLYPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_VIEWONLYPASSWORD=*********** SET_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_CONTROLPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_CONTROLPASSWORD=*********

If I run this command on a PC, it does install it silently, exactly as defined in the command. Unfortunately, it’s weirdly reacting when pushing it through BatchPatch, it’s giving me this error message :

dim.-12:32:57> Deployment: Exit Code: -1

dim.-12:32:57> Deployment: Executing \Dir-comm -s -w “C:TEMPtemp” cmd.exe /c “msiexec.exe /i “C:TEMPtemptightvnc-2.8.11-gpl-setup-64bit.msi” /q /norestart ADDLOCAL=Server SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=******* SET_VIEWONLYPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_VIEWONLYPASSWORD=******** SET_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_CONTROLPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_CONTROLPASSWORD=*******

Unable to locate file ‘\Dir-commC$TEMPBatchPatchDeploymentOutput1600065169.log’.

I’ve even tried to copy it through BatchPatch and run the command remotely, again through BP, but the error message was the same.

Any thoughts?

My first suggestion is to please *uncheck* the box ‘Retrieve console output…’ in the ‘Deployment’ window.

OMG! A simple checkbox was the issue! 😀

Thank you so much for your quick answer!
