Updating Visual Studio

[ktlevy]

I’m trying to use BatchPatch to update Visual Studio 2019 on a bunch of computers, however I’m not having any luck. According to the Microsoft site, I need to run two commands:

\\server\vs2019\vs_enterprise.exe –quiet –update (this one seems to work and shows SUCCESS)
\\server\vs2019\vs_enteprise.exe update –installPath “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional” –quiet –wait

If I try and run the command through the “Deploy Software” option, I get an Exit Code 1.
If I try and run the command through the “Execute Remote Command” option, I get an Exit Code 2.

I’ve also tried creating a .bat file with both command in it and executing that, but it also fails.

If I logon to a system and bring up a command window and run both of those commands, it works like a champ.

Has anyone gotten this to work or have any suggestions?

When you say the first command was successful– I assume that means you did the first command successfully using ‘Deploy’, not using ‘Remote command’, yes? If yes, I’m thinking that the issue with the second command is probably the quotation marks. Try single quotation marks around the path instead of double quotation marks. Like this:

\\server\vs2019\vs_enteprise.exe update --installPath 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional' --quiet --wait

Let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately that did not work. I got an Exit Code 1.

Sorry to hear that. If you are a licensed customer and want to work through this with us, I would encourage you to contact us directly so that we can have a better look at what might be happening. There’s a good chance that we’ll be able to help you get it working when we can see exactly what you’re doing with screenshots etc. It’s unclear to me at the moment where things might be going wrong.
