Issue utilizing Deploy-Application.exe

The Toolkit General Discussion

Hey all,

Searched for this, so this must just be me missing something extremely unfortunate.

Where the code breaks

<code>
## &lt;Perform Installation tasks here&gt;
		$AginityPath = &#039;.\Files\AginityNetezzaWorkbenchSetupx64.exe&#039;
		$NZODBCPath = &#039;.\files\nzodbcsetup.exe&#039;
		$NZOLEDBPath = &#039;.\Files\nzoledbsetup64.exe&#039;

		Execute-Process -Path $AginityPath -Parameters &quot;/s ACCEPTEULA=TRUE ALLUSERS=FALSE&quot;

</code>

Checking the log I get the following error

<code>

[Installation] :: Function failed, setting exit code to [60002].

Error Record:

Message : The term &#039;.\Files\AginityNetezzaWorkbenchSetupx64.exe&#039; is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

So it seems to be trying to take my Path variable I set and running that as a command. I have tried just putting the raw path into the the path argument, with no avail, I have tried single and double quotes, I have tried praying directly to Jeffrey Snover but my prayers are unanswered.

The part that really makes me confused is when I run the .ps1 file, the installation goes through properly, and I verified everything properly is installed and configured as I lay out further along in my script. Any advice is appreciated. I’ve been scratching my head over this simple issue all day.

Replace .\Files with $dirFiles
Use double quotes
