New Post: Error while checking running applications (3.6.0)

Hi,

I'm not totally sure but I think I might have stumbled upon a bug in 3.6.0.

Trying to update to the latest flash plugin, and using the CloseApps parameter to prompt user to close IE, Chrome and/or Firefox. It runs just fine on some machines, but has given an error on others.

Here's what the log says on the failing machines:
[Pre-Installation] :: Check for running application(s) [iexplore,chrome,firefox]... Get-RunningProcesses    23.03.2015 14:01:34 28720 (0x7030)

    Deploy Application  23.03.2015 14:01:34 28720 (0x7030)
I am using the application model in SCCM (2012 R2 CU4) and have a Install.bat firing off the following command running as system:
  • %cd%\ServiceUIx64.exe %cd%\Deploy-Application.exe
I've also ticked the box "Run installation [...] as 32-bit process [...]" as it has worked great with all my previous 3.5.0-deployments.

User experience is set as a follows:
  • Installation behaviour: Install for system
  • Logon requirement: Whether or not user is logged on
  • Installation program visibility: Normal
I've tried out different scenarios with user being logged on and with combinations of the three processes running. All results in same error.

If I change the script to only look for iexplore and not the other two it runs without errors.

Below is my Show-InstallationWelcome command:
Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps 'iexplore,chrome,firefox' -AllowDefer -DeferTimes 3 -CheckDiskSpace -PersistPrompt
Heres a technet discussion on the error code but I'm unsure of how to implement this in the code (if possible even).

Any suggestions :)?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, so I've discovered that the error only occurs when any of the processes is in a hung state (i.e. the process is running but GUI is not showing) as the script executes. Unfortunately this seems to be fairly common in my environment as my package only has been tested out on a few machines and the error has happened at numerous occations already.

I should mention that both Firefox and Chrome are App-V 5.0 based deployments.

Nevertheless, it seems to me that the script is having issues detecting / ending processes in an erroring state.

The failure is occurring when we try to use Select-Object to expand the value of the Description field for the process. My guess is that when a process gets into a hung state, windows is not able to access the Description field of the process anymore and when we try to access it and expand the value, we end up with an error.

I've added a check to make sure the Description filed of a process is not $null before we try to expand that value by adding the following bit of code: Where-Object { $null -ne $_.Description }

You can find the latest 3.6.1 beta under the "Source Code" tab of this site for testing purposes. We will probably have a final release out some time this week.

Hi Guys

Is there any way to customise PADT deployments to show a progress bar instead. I was considering using Write-Progress. Not sure if this would work or where to put it if I am honest.

Any chance this is possible?

Thanks in advance

What is the commandline you are using. Did you try: Deploy-Application.EXE -DeploymentType Install
This works for me.

Make sure your packages works locally first by running the Deploy-Application.EXE.

Thanks

I've deployed the package to a couple of machines now, and have not experienced any issues after the fix.

Thank you heaps!!

In case anyone reading this wondering what file to download:
It's the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 under the following path Sources\Toolkit\AppDeployToolkit\AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1, but I'm the content on that page could change at any time so be aware of the date this was posted.

New Post: Messages displayed in the (Primary) Language of the current Logged on User

To Display Messages in a Language there are 2 options:
Use the Culture or use override for the Default Language in the XML for All users
  • Our application (in SCCM) runs under System Account (So System Account Culture is got - I think)
We have Languages Packs installed.
I Like to have the messages displayed in the (Primary) Language of the current Logged on User

Found out that the Primary set Language is set here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\User Profile\Languages
Which Gives e.g. : "nl-NL en-US"
The first Culture nl-NL in the value is always the Primary Language set by the user.

Thought about using the Override value in the XML e.g.
<InstallationUI_LanguageOverride>HKU</InstallationUI_LanguageOverride>
If HKU then get the current users Primary Language

Tried this:

$DOMAIN = [string]$usersLoggedOn.Split('\')[[string]$usersLoggedOn.Split('\').Count-2]
$USER = [string]$usersLoggedOn.Split('\')[[string]$usersLoggedOn.Split('\').Count-1]
$HKUSID = ([wmi]"win32_userAccount.Domain='$DOMAIN',Name='$USER'").sid

$HKULanguages = Get-RegistryKey -SID $HKUSID "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\User Profile" -Value 'Languages'

$HKUPrimaryLanguageShort = $HKULanguages.substring(0,2)[0].ToUpper()
[string]$xmlUIMessageLanguage = "UI_Messages_$HKUPrimaryLanguageShort"
Which gives : UI_Messages_<Primary Language>
In this case: UI_Messages_NL

Get it to work manually in Powershell ISE, but when I deploy, the App the failed
on:
$HKULanguages = Get-RegistryKey -SID $HKUSID "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\User Profile" -Value 'Languages'

Any other ideas getting this to work ?

Kind regards
Edwin

Technically yes this is feasible. However the progress dialog is written in Windows Presentation Format to achieve the multi threaded UI that runs in parallel to the installation. Adding an indeterminate progress bar is not as straight forward as one would think especially if you are familiar with Windows Forms as with WPF you need to write custom code to essentially animate the progress bar. If someone from the community wants to contribute the code for this we can look at including it but for now it would not be a priority.

I noticed an anomaly in an attempt to isolate another anomaly. 
## Build the Installation Name
If ($appArch) {
    [string]$installName = $appVendor + '_' + $appName + '_' + $appVersion + '_' + $appArch + '_' + $appLang + '_' + $appRevision
}
Else {
    [string]$installName = $appVendor + '_' + $appName + '_' + $appVersion + '_' + $appLang + '_' + $appRevision
}
[string]$installName = $installName.Trim('_') -replace '[_]+','_'
should resolve to (at least it does initially)
PS_Wireshark_1.12.4_EN_01
and if that is correct then
Write-Log -Message "[Custom-logging] :: [$installName] :: -CheckExist parameter was applied. Proceeding, please wait."
should resolve to
[03-24-2015 18:35:05.848] [Pre-Uninstallation] :: [Custom-logging] :: [PS_Wireshark_1.12.4_EN_01] :: -CheckExist parameter was applied. Proceeding, please wait.
instead it resolved to
[03-24-2015 18:35:05.848] [Pre-Uninstallation] :: [Custom-logging] :: [@{InstallSource=; UninstallString="C:\Program Files\Wireshark\uninstall.exe"; Is64BitApplication=False; ProductCode=Wireshark; InstallLocation=C:\Program Files\Wireshark; Publisher=The Wireshark developer community, http://www.wireshark.org; InstallDate=; DisplayVersion=1.12.4; DisplayName=Wireshark 1.12.4 (64-bit)}] :: -CheckExist parameter was applied. Proceeding, please wait.

I am curious how the installer works:

cmd.exe /c "C:\Windows\System32\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:$dirfiles\IE10-neutral.Downloaded.cab /quiet /norestart"

It seems that I am missing something pretty big as I don't have that file anywhere.

If i run the ie setup the files are supposed to be located in TEMP, but they are not.

Is that essentially how you get the files, then put them all in your "Files" folder?

Apparently there was is a variable $InstallName in the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 that I was unaware existed and I learned the hard way the effects of inadvertently recycling/ re-purposing variables that have already been declared. I renamed the variable $InstallName in my Deploy-Application.ps1 to $InstallDisplayName and problem solved.

What was the error? Can't really help without that information. The ISE probably loads functions and make them available for you to use no matter where you choose to use them. However, when you deploy a script, you have to make sure you use a function after you have declared it. Make sure you're using the Get-RegistryKey function after the section where functions are declared.

Hello Mmashwani,

Thanks for your fast reaction !

What do you think of the (to be build) feature?

What’s the normal way of working. Must I react via the Blog or can this done via Email?

Or .. e.g. If we have the answer then post it to the blog?

I’ll check the PS again. I’m a new PowerSheller.

Or…Can I sent you the draft PS1 file. So that you can advise or use the feature?

Kind regards,

Edwin

I think it's a good feature.

Let's keep the conversation in the thread. You can private message me with a link to logs. If you can post the error message here when we can probably figure out what the problem is without looking at logs or the script. The error messages are usually pretty descriptive.
