Kace Script Starts, Informs User and Shows Succsessful But Software Doesn't Install

I created a Kace script to install software. I tried doing it 2 ways:

1. A script to install a managed installation

2. A script that "Launches a program" by copying an executable to $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR) after uploading an executable as a dependency

The reason I'm using a script is because I need to perform multiple tasks however this is the first task I'm trying. If I run the managed install manually from "Distribution" it works perfectly. When I run the manual install through the script and when I run the script with the "Launch a program" the script starts because the "User" is notified by a pop up box, after that nothing happens however the "Run Now Status" shows the script as successful. I also see that when I run "Launch a program" script the executable does get copied down to C:\ProgramData\Dell\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\"script number".

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. I have no idea why this isn't working. Please help.

  • Can you let us know what script you are attempting to run? It sounds like an issue with the script itself. - Keltonfoss 6 years ago
  • Hey thanks for the response. If I understand what you are asking you are thinking I'm trying to run a pre-written script. That is not the case. I'm trying to use Kace scripting to run a managed install or run an executable. FYI I've tried with 2 different executables to make sure it wasn't an issue with the executable. Does this make sense? - CPC_IT 6 years ago
    • I pick up that it's a custom script, but It sounds like there is a fault in the script itself. Can you paste the log for us? - Keltonfoss 6 years ago
  • Forgive me here but which log? Are you looking for the log from the PC in inventory like this or one of the text logs I can pull from the PC?

  • I got the first part working by removing "Create a message window" and "Destroy a message window". They were present before and after the installation. I'm not sure why they caused a problem but once I removed them the install ran. - CPC_IT 6 years ago
    • IF you're still having trouble, can you post the full xml of the script? (Click "Edit XML" button right above "Dependencies" and below "Schedule") - JasonEgg 5 years ago
      • I think I'm ok for the moment but thanks for replying. I'll post again if I need help. - CPC_IT 5 years ago
