Hi All,

I have been working on this script for two weeks and having an issue. Powershell scripting is still at beginner level.

For this Start-Process Line, I cannot get this msi to install. I need the process to start the msi file from the same directory. I was able to do this in a previous script/msi file just fine. Any suggestions would be useful. THank you

<# Install Pulse Secure 9.1.4 #>
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList “/i $PSScriptRoot\PulseSecure.msi” -Wait

#Pulse

PulseSecure9_1_4.txt (3.27 KB)

Try this:

Start path\file.msi -parameters

something like so?

Start-Process -FilePath "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/i","$PSScriptRoot\PulseSecure.msi" -Wait

Is the script in the same directory as the MSI file? The PSScriptRoot automatic variable exists only in the context of a script that is already running. I have used it only for controller scripts that call other scripts.

Hi Evan, - yes the msi and script are in the same directory and when used in SCCM it will be copied to the ccmcache folder as well.

@qexle Thanks your suggestion worked for me. Seems this MSI is acting a bit funky as well. I had to remove the /i from my argumentlists. End result… Thank you so much!

Start-Process -FilePath “$PSScriptRoot\PulseSecure.msi” -ArgumentList “/qn”

@alexw ​ Thanks for your input. Seems this msi file was acting a bit funky because I switched the syntax around alot even to the one you suggested and it wouldnt install. I would just get the msiexec parameter window stating what options to use to install… The first syntax (qxele sent) and removing /i worked for me (so weird)…

Thank you though!

Well we can’t predict how the installer file behaves as that’s unique to you.

Glad you got it figured out.
