Silent update failed when running from SYSTEM account.

Dear Graham,

you should only check if the variable gets initialized to a different value within the script.

Anyway as first, I may suggest you to verify if your package gets installed correctly under SYSTEM account using PSEXEC.
If it works fine, the problem is not caused by the ALLUSERS value.

Hi Francesco,

PsExec results in the same error.

I don't see anywhere in the script where ALLUSERS is being set (other than at the start now where I set it to TRUE).

Thanks,
Graham

Dear Graham,

the ALLUSER variable (Initially TRUE if platform is NT, FALSE if not) is set by the "StartMenu" dialog during the setup interview sequence.

So, if you launch your package under SYSTEM ACCOUNT in silent mode as follow;

- psexec -i -s <setup.exe> /s
or
- psexec -i -s <setup.exe>/s ALLUSERS=TRUE

It must work!

Regards
Francesco
