Little-Miss Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 There's a patch for my earlier Target Tracker problem and it's in a MSP format. How do I deploy it out to workstations? I dont have much luck with these things!

Little-Miss Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 ah, was just looking at that! awesome...
Little-Miss Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) msiexec /p \\CURRICSVR1\PACKAGES\Target Tracker 11.9.3\primary target tracker 11.9.3 upgrade.msp /a \\CURRICSVR1\APPS\TargetTracker11.9\primarytargettracker.msi /qb What am i doing wrong? Doesnt run when i double click, just gives me the list of instructions. I never get these to work first time! lol Edited January 24, 2012 by Little-Miss
Domino Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Have you tried putting the paths inside quote marks? as there's spaces in them... 1
nickbro Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Need quotes msiexec /p "\\CURRICSVR1\PACKAGES\Target Tracker 11.9.3\primary target tracker 11.9.3 upgrade.msp" /a "\\CURRICSVR1\APPS\TargetTracker11.9\primarytargett racker.msi" /qb There are spaces in the file paths 1
Little-Miss Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Ok, will try that... Can you guys see primarytargett racker.msi, that space isnt there, well its not supposed to be and then when i go to edit it my thread its apparently not there!
Little-Miss Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 ARGH! Im having real fun with this one! I've had internal 2203 errors, ive had it just hang and then disappear... I'm probably doing something really fundamentally wrong..... I've set up as a Startup script under Computer configuration....it's a BAT. Theres an error with the BAT itself i think as it wont run straight from the file either... help... msiexec /p "\\CURRICSVR1\PACKAGES\Target Tracker 11.9.3\primary target tracker 11.9.3 upgrade.msp" /a "\\CURRICSVR1\APPS\TargetTracker11.9\primarytargettracker.msi" /qb /L* C:\log.txt Any ideas?
Little-Miss Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 log.txt From what i can see on the attached log, theres no error. But when i run TT its still only version 11.9.0 and has the error.

But when i run TT its still only version 11.9.0 and has the error. might be worth running the msp manually one 1 pc make sure that its not faulty and it does change the version no etc
Little-Miss Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 running the msp as is does result in a change of version to 11.9.3. Iinstalled it on my machine as soon as i got it and it works fine. According to the log above its applied but i still recieve error and the version is still 11.9.0.... *sigh*
plexer Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 You're applying a patch to an msi located in a shared location for the purpose of being able to install that msi via gpo. The workstations allready have the software installed and patching the msi on the share is not going to update the workstations until the software is redeployed. Make a new folder with the new version and copy all the install files to there, run the patch against the copy, deploy the new copy to a test machine. If the test is successful unallocate the original msi from the machines and thus uninstall it and push out the new version? Ben
Little-Miss Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 LOL!! Real penny drop moment then! So i've basically updated the msi and its just sat there now going "duh hello!!"... lol brilliant!!! *facepalm*
