Script can be the answer yes. It can be the best way.

Generally speaking, I tend to use scripts for most of my software packages. It just makes it easier to add a little logic to make sure everything works as intended.
Java in particular is another painful software package to manage. I ended up creating a basic cmd file that copies a java install.cfg file to c:\windows\temp on client then the cmd calls the installer exe from a UNC path and references the .cfg file in c:\windows\temp. I rename each new release of the java installer to the same name in the cmd so I don't even have to reset the package hash when updating the exe because the cmd is untouched.
If you use a quick batch then you can use this:
@ECHO ON
set CWD=%~d0%~p0
cls
C:
CD %CWD%
CWD would be Current Working Directory
Have you changed the Architecture mode from default (NA) to "system architecture" or 64-bit etc?
Sometimes you'll get weird behavior on packages because they'll look for HKLM\Software\ instead of HKLM\Software\Wow6432node on a 64bit PC or have other similar problems (c:\program files vs c:\program files (x86) dirs).
I typically use scripts to install packages and I usually start testing by leaving the architecture alone and test. If I get an odd error like yours, the first thing I do is set the architecture to "system" and try again and it usually works.
Good luck
I have downloaded the executable from both Intel and Dell and attempted to update the drivers are different machines. Several have said successful but it is not being updated. Has anyone found a way to successfully update the driver?
Have a look what the logs say (/enable more verbosity in them, if they have the option)?
Run one through a GUI-based installl in the user-based context you're installing in (as a primary "does it even WORK normally?" sanity check) and work back from there.
Compare the "successful log" versus a "lying log", and see what's different ... installers are as good/bad as they are created, there's a reason why I've been valuing competent re-packagaing people more & more in recent years .
Hope that helps / puts you on the right trail.
Effectively you treat this - conceptually - as little different to troubleshooting regular software distribution / installer issuse.
Hello,
for HP 840 G1 in Win 7, I hav update all portable by download the drivers on HP site; unzip this, and compil by innosetup a setup.exe
and deploy this new setup.exe by Ivanty.

Also to further clarify - you don't need to "do anything special" to enable this.
We can't think of a scenario where this WOULDN'T be desirable, so this byte-level checkpoint restart is always enabled (without you needing to do anything). It's something we've had for ... errr .. I want to say some 15-odd years now, and it's made life a lot easier for people (we still have to contend with situations where folks have 56 KB connections and still need to download massive files over those poor links).
The only things you want/need to configure is what "sources" are permissable for a download (which you do in the agent setting). I.e.:
Does that answer everything you wanted / needed here, or is there more?
Yep - 64-bit vs 32-bit options are a very valid starting point.
Push come to shove (if you want to go "debug crazy") you can use PROCMON (the SYSINTERNALS tool) to Monitor the execution via our installer and cross-check it against what happens when you "run it by hand".
That's certainly one way to notice that it's poking 32-bit registry keys (for instance) when it should be looking for 64-bit ones. But yeah - the easier option is to make use of the architecture options & go from there .
This is my first time posting but I have been trying to get a package built to use an unpacked iso to do an upgrade. I was following the instructions from this posting (Windows 7 to Windows 10 1703 Inplace Upgrade ) but my packages hang on installing or when I tweak the command prompts I also see a Client has started processing task and nothing ever happens.
Under Install/Uninstall options I have /auto upgrade /quiet . Has anyone else had success in doing in place upgrades?
Thanks,
Doug

We were able to solve this by setting the package to install with the local admin account and not as the user.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to find a way to display a report of all software installed for a single computer.
I know I can go into the machine's inventory and look at the software installed, but there's no way to export that data only an Import function. Or is there a hidden export feature?
thanks,
So
There's a bunch of ways to do this.
You can run a query "Device Name == Device You Care About" and add the additional fields you want as a column set ... anything that's displayed in the console as part of a query or "all devices" can be exported to CSV. That's the easiest method.
There's a few canned reports that may cover what you need. Have a look at those.
You can also query the database (if you have SQL skills / have someone with them available to you).
See if option #1 does the trick for you (just right-click in the console view & export as CSV, to see whether that'd work for you).
Thanks, that did the trick!!
Instead of Device name I had something else, think it was computer name or something similar to that.
Happy to help.
Is it possible to add a patch bundle in Portal Manager and install them from Portal Manager ? if yes what is the process ?
In effect - yes. You treat it as a SWD task is one way, for instance.
There's various ways of skinning that particular beast.
Any chance you could provide a bit more context as to why you want to make patching be optional in this case - and whether it's any common apps that are involved (i.e. "Flash" and "Java" tend to be particularly common "aggravating" items to update due to needing them be dead/not running / have no browsers open & such fun) ?
Depending on what you're after / what you need to do, remember that vulscan is quite controllable via a command-line, so it could be as little as just sending down a single batch file with various options, and the following being a good reference point -- About Vulscan switches for Windows clients . Depending on what you're after, this may or may not involve a few work-arounds.
If you provide a bit more context, maybe there can be more poignant suggestions be made ?
<Do be aware that Vulscan & the SWD-client usualy check for each other's existence, so as to prevent problems ... so one doesn't like usually starting the other. This is why I was asking for more information to see if we can figure out something sensible for you >
