Install not observing parameters

Question

Install not observing parameters

Closed this issue 7 months ago · 4 comments

I may be doing something wrong myself, but not sure what. I am trying to push the application to several computers. I am running the command: Start-Process msiexec "/i $pkg /norestart /qn" -Wait

However the application never seems to install. Am I missing a parameter to force it to install for me?

Then with the application installed, If I copy this to the registry of each PC it should work correct?:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lithnet\IdleLogOff]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"IdleLimit"=dword:00000005
"IgnoreDisplayRequested"=dword:00000001
"WarningEnabled"=dword:00000000
"WarningMessage"="Your session has been idle for too long, and you will be logged out in {0}"
"WarningPeriod"=dword:00000000
"WaitForInitialInput"=dword:00000000
"Action"=dword:00000000

These particular PCs are not part of a domain to use group policy, so trying to see about pushing the application, and these keys to get it to work.

Thoughts on what I am doing?

Is the start-process command just exiting, or is the installer hanging?

If you run the installer by hand, are there any errors presented by the installer?

The installer hangs. When ran manually it works without issue. I downloaded the file a couple of times thinking I may have had a bad copy. It never completed. I did find it on chocolaty and pushed it via this, and then made the registry changes to hklm:policies/lithnet and it is working

Hm not sure what is going on there. Happy to keep troubleshooting if you need assistance, but if you are happy with your current installation method, we can leave it there.
