I am running in to an issue where I have an administrative image created, and everythings works if I launch the StartSWInstall.hta.
When I attempt to Auto Deploy, however, the task is being created in task scheduler on the desired destination but the ‘Actions’ includes some extra items.
“\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.hta\StartSWInstall.exe” /install
The path that does work if I modify it is:
“\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.exe” /install
Is there any way to correct this?
Thanks!
Did you figure out your issue?
I traditional think of the startswinstall.hta as being the “user-activated” deployment method. if I am auto-deploying I want to launch startswinstall.exe which appears only as a blank command prompt window if activated by the user.
This path also does not make sense: “\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.hta\StartSWInstall.exe” /install
The second path looks correct to me. “\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.exe” /install
