Citrix VDA installation - Exit Code 3

The Toolkit General Discussion

Hi,
I’m new to PSADT and facing a problem I don’t know how to handle.
I’m trying to deploy Citrix VDA using PSADT 3.8.0.
It’s failing with the following log

|[Installation] :: Working Directory is [C:\Tools\VDA.2\Files].|Execute-Process|02/04/2020 13:35:43|7780 (0x1E64)|

Can someone help me handle this exit code ?
I’ve changed this in the Deploy-Application.ps1 file :

	## Variables: Exit Code
	[int32]$mainExitCode = 3

but it doesn’t work.
I need to mention that this exit code is OK for Citrix VDA and means it requires a restart.

I could change this line in AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 but I doubt it’s the right way to do this :
If (($AllowRebootPassThru) -and ((($msiRebootDetected) -or ($exitCode -eq 3010)) -or ($exitCode -eq 1641)))
Thanks for your help

Execute-Process -Path “VDAWorkstationCoreSetup_1912.exe” -Parameters ‘/controllers “xxxxxx” /enable_hdx_ports /enable_hdx_udp_ports /enable_real_time_transport /enable_remote_assistance /noreboot /quiet’ -IgnoreExitCodes ‘3’ -PassThru

Thanks for your quick reply, I’m checking this right away
EDIT : Works like a charm. Thanks a lot

Make use of -PassThru there.

$myvariable = Execute-Process -Path “VDAWorkstationCoreSetup_1912.exe” -Parameters ‘/controllers “xxxxxx” /enable_hdx_ports /enable_hdx_udp_ports /enable_real_time_transport /enable_remote_assistance /noreboot /quiet’ -IgnoreExitCodes ‘3’ -PassThru

if ($myvariable.ExitCode -eq 3) {
 $mainExitCode = 3010
}

Then add -AllowRebootPassThru as a parameter for Deploy-Application.exe and it will return 3010 which is Success with reboot. If you dont add -AllowRebootPassThru, it will get silenced.
SCCM handles 3010 nicely, because it asks the user to reboot the machine when they have time.

Thanks for the advice.
I’ll try this as soon as possible
