Scripted Install with Windows 7
I have a scripted install setup which is very basic. All it does it call a batch file to run the msi setup for our anti-virus. On Windows XP machines, I do a run now on the script and it works.
I am in the process of testing Windows 7 in our network. When I pushed the script to my Windows 7 box, the script will not run. When I check the KACE folder I see that it pushed the batch file to the Windows 7 box. If I run the batch while on the box, the install works.
Any ideas as to why the script doesn't run when I push the install?
Thank you

My suspicion would be that there's an error that isn't being displayed, or the UAC is halting the install. Can you run the batch manually and detect any such behavior?

I thought it was UAC so I disabled it and no luck.
When I run the batch manually it works fine.

I assume you're on the 5.0.25648 agent, which is the one compatible with Windows 7.
What do the scripting logs show?

put some debugs stuff in you batch file... see if it even executes... (IE redirectors, or copy text files)

Since it works in XP, the first thing that comes to mind is UAC - or possibly something that acts differently in Windows 7 than in XP. Dale's suggestion of writing some debugging into the script is a good idea. Keep in mind, the KBOX agent runs everything under the local SYSTEM account, so the fact that it works when you run it manually probably means it's an interactivity issue or an authentication issue.
Are you installing the MSI by calling it directly (i.e. - install.msi /passive /norestart) or are you passing the MSI to msiexec.exe (i.e. - msiexec.exe /i install.msi /passive /norestart)?
