Pre-Installation Hangs

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Having an issue with the tool on what seems to be Windows 7 64 bit. Install hangs at Show-Installationprogress Next set of instructions never run no longer how long I wait. See part of script in question. Same script runs fine in 32 bit world.

Show Welcome Message, close Internet Explorer if required, allow up to 3 deferrals, verify there is enough disk space to complete the install, and persist the prompt

	Show-InstallationWelcome AllowDeferCloseApps 'iexplore,outlook,winword,excel,metadataassistant' -PromptToSave -BlockExecution -DeferTimes 4 -CheckDiskSpace -PersistPrompt
	
	## Show Progress Message (with the default message)
	Show-InstallationProgress

Please supply related log file entries generated by the toolkit. Default location is %windir%\logs\software.

It’s impossible to give any other than a qualified guess at this point, but I would review every ’ and " in the script… There might be an evil apostrophe somewhere in there. Normally that would give a fatal error but you never know.

Unfortunately the log doesn’t provide much. Here is the last 10 lines or so.

Hi Jamie,
can you provide the part of the Deploy-Application.ps1 script that is contained in the pre-installation and installation parts of the script.
