Help with a .Bat File

Hello Guys,

I am deploying a .Bat file to install - Toad and bunch of registry keys for Toad license.

The .bat file when run locally only add the registry keys, but when deployed using SCCM - it only installs the application - won't add the registry keys.


msiexec.exe /i "ToadForOracle_13.1.1.5_x86_En.msi" INSTALLDIR="C:\Toad\" /q
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\EGRS8BGAZ14L" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\EGRS8BGAZ14L" /v SiteMessage /t REG_SZ /d "XX CORP" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\EGRS8BGAZ14L" /v ProductName /t REG_SZ /d "Toad for Oracle" /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\{08439167-4CA5-48E9-A810-A3A7C0B80B06}\Local\EGRS8BGAZ14L" /v ProductVersion /t REG_SZ /d 13.1.1 /f


Can you please look at the below .bat file and let me know where i am going wrong:

first guess is the user does not have rights to run msi install and SCCM runs as system so there are no hkcu keys created.

Like pretty much every deployment system, SCCM uses the System account to do its work. To get user-based settings installed, you'll need to rejig the feature tree so that the applications gets self-healed when the advertised entry-point - normally a shortcut - is used.

Google for John McFadyen's excellent article about self-healing. Alternatively, the basics are mentioned here at IT Ninja many times.

Hello, you could make two Applications.

App A - with Installation behavior - Install for system, for deploying the MSI installation.

App B - with Installation behavior - Install for User that deploys the reg keys. That way the logged on user registry will be used. 

            Add App A as dependency in App B with Auto install enabled.

This helped me to deploy apps with user settings where the user does not have install rights.
