Execute-MSI runs install twice

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Hi

I have stumbled upon this weird problem while trying to run a quiet install of a standard .msi package through appdeploy. The problem is, it runs once in silent mode, then after the installation is complete it runs again, but now using the installation wizard. If i cancel the wizard the program is still installed.

If i run it through cmd using msiexec it behaves normally.

I’m trying to include the PS-script and the log from the installation, and would appreciate any help that can help me make appdeploy only run this bastard once.

Here are the files:

.SYNOPSIS
This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s).
.DESCRIPTION
The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s).
The script either performs an “Install” deployment type or an “Uninstall” deployment type.
The install deployment type is broken down into 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
The type of deployment to perform. Default is: Install.
.PARAMETER DeployMode
Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent, or NonInteractive mode. Default is: Interactive. Options: Interactive = Shows dialogs, Silent = No dialogs, NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. NonInteractive mode is automatically set if it is detected that the process is not user interactive.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM, a reboot prompt will be triggered.
.PARAMETER TerminalServerMode
Changes to “user install mode” and back to “user execute mode” for installing/uninstalling applications for Remote Destkop Session Hosts/Citrix servers.
.PARAMETER DisableLogging
Disables logging to file for the script. Default is: $false.
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -DeployMode ‘Silent’
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -AllowRebootPassThru -AllowDefer
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.ps1 -DeploymentType Uninstall

Hi Hans,
I’m not seeing anything overtly wrong with your script, can you paste a log output as well? Maybe we can get another clue as to the cause from that.

Also, I’d recommend trying the latest version of the toolkit.

Hi Aman

After thorough research i found out what the msi did, its just a terrible package of a exe file, and just executes the exe without any parameters, even though they are defined in the msi package.

What i ended up doing, was to kill the process of the second instance that for some reason started when the quiet installation was finished.

It is not a good solution, but i ran out of time to spend on this abysmal package.
