Has anyone had any success with removing a file if it is present before trying to install an application with the tool? If so how did you proceed?
Thanks

New Post: findstr causing script failure
Hi All,
I am currently deploying a Cisco Anyconnect upgrade using the toolkit via SCCM 2007. It works well for the majority of installations but around 10% are failing returning error code 255 to SCCM.
The toolkit calls a .cmd supplied by Cisco that references findstr and returns the following error to the toolkit log file:
"'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
1==0 was unexpected at this time."
First of all I checked that C:\windows\system32 is in the Env Variables path on the laptop, and it is already.
I then ran the toolkit from the laptop running as my admin user, without using SCCM . The toolkit runs fine and upgrade succeeds. So its only when I use the toolkit via SCCM that the failures occur.
I am using version 3.2.0.
Any suggestions please ?
Thanks.

New Post: Test-VPNConnection Function: Need help testing to see if it works reliably in other environments
Thanks for your help with this Paul. I haven't forgotten about this. The function can currently tell if the corporate resources are available or not. It cannot tell if you're at home and connected via VPN or if you're in the office connected directly to the intranet. The second is what I optimally want to be able to determine. However, DirectAccess makes this difficult by default because the default option is to not show the network adapter being used for VPN connection as connected. Because of this, I need to do some more research into how I can reliable detect the DirectAccess VPN connection. Perhaps I can use routing table information for network adapters. Other promising avenues to explore would be to use the INetworkConnection interface introduced in Vista (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370751(VS.85).aspx) and/or the GetBestInterfaceEx API. These last two can also give us reliable information on whether or not we are connected to the intranet via wired connection. This would also help us improve the Test-NetworkConnection function in the toolkit because the current WMI method will not necessarily work in all scenarios. Anyways, I will do some more work on this and get back at a later date.

Hasi,
Are you deploying the updated AnyConnect client as an MSI? Have you checked the logs on C:\Windows\Logs\Software\"APP Name"? I have deployed an updated AnyConnect client to my workstations, using an MSI and Transform and have not experienced this issue.
This is my Installation code - pretty simple and straight forward.

New Post: findstr causing script failure
Hi,
I have it set to run directly from the DP on fast connections and as cached on slow ones. I get the same warning message in the logs re UNC paths on successful installations as well. Additionally there is no correlation between failed vs successul installations running in cached vs direct mode. When I remote onto failed installations and run it manually, I'm running it from the DP and not downloading it locally first. So far, none have failed doing it that way.
I'm going to look at abandoning the Cisco script and just putting Execute-MSI into the toolkit script as per your method. Thinking about it, the .cmd from Cisco is doing the same checks for version and chassis detection that I'm already doing using SCCM collections, so I'm duplicating it by continuing to use the Cisco script.
Many thanks for the suggestions and pointers, just curious as why I'm getting this small percentage of failures.

New Post: Uninstall Non MSI legacy apps (unwise.exe)
Hi,
We are using SCCM and have a bunch of legacy apps which have been installed on a clients Win 7 fleet.
I would like to be able to use PS App toolkit to remove these apps prior to installing the new MSI packaged versions.
The legacy apps have a reg entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall that hold the Quiet Uninstall Value.
The legacy apps use Wisescript to handle the uninstall via a command something like:
C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\UNWISE.EXE /s C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\LOGS\NOTEPA~1.LOG
Does anyone have an example of how to edit the script to do this as either the pre-install step or as a separate uninstall package?
We are using SCCM and have a bunch of legacy apps which have been installed on a clients Win 7 fleet.
I would like to be able to use PS App toolkit to remove these apps prior to installing the new MSI packaged versions.
The legacy apps have a reg entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall that hold the Quiet Uninstall Value.
The legacy apps use Wisescript to handle the uninstall via a command something like:
C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\UNWISE.EXE /s C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\LOGS\NOTEPA~1.LOG
Does anyone have an example of how to edit the script to do this as either the pre-install step or as a separate uninstall package?

Don't worry, found it for myself.
Added the following to the Pre-Installation sections:
Execute-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\UNWISE.EXE" -Arguments "/s C:\Windows\SMS_FI~1\LOGS\NOTEPA~1.LOG"
Great work you guys. I've been in app packaging and deployment for 10 years and this is THE BEST tool i've seen to date. Thank you!
