Scripting

I know this was answered a while back, but i have just found a simpler fix, for anyone else having this particular issue.

Instead of calling DISM or C:\Windows\System32\dism.exe from your batch file, use the path C:\Windows\Sysnative\dism.exe
This will call DISM from the 64 bit "System32" folder, rather than the Wow64 filesystem redirection for 32 bit processes.

All explained pretty well here: http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=133

This may help. A Bat to Exe Converter:

It has an option to create a 64 bit exe. So I would take your bat file convert it to a 64 bit exe and then run it from the kbox and see if it works.

I noticed when I launch "cmd.exe" it runs as a 64-bit process. But when KACE runs "cmd.exe" it runs as "cmd.exe *32" (a 32-bit process). I think this has something to do with it.

Here is what i did for windows 8 : I have been working on this for a couple days because i was pushing out Dot net 3.5 sp1 that included 2 and 4 for windows 8 i found the instructions <a herf="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1854791d-75cd-4d44-9b94-12065d033121/dotnet-35-sp1-on-windows-8?forum=w8itproappcompat"><Here</a>. I kept getting Error 11. I added a task of Launch program and pointed it to:

Directory: C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-d..ervicing-management_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_b7734a7c9770a13d\

File: dism.exe

with Paramaters: /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\sxs /LimitAccess

Hope this helps someone else.

By default everything runs as SYSTEM. Is your batch file something that requires local user access?

Please be also aware that not every system wide variable is resolved correctly, so use hard coded paths if possible or be shure the variables are known to the script.

I ended up using samzeeco's solution of iexpress.exe

Thank you all.
