Hey, I've been using Unattended for a couple years now and so far everything is working just great. Especially since I removed the malicious software removal tool from my win*.bat files. ;)
Anyway ... a fellow admin is now facing a problem I cant quite make sense of. He is trying to create a shortcut using the shortcut.pl file in the bin/ directory. I've been using this script for months now to create all kinds of shortcuts and had no real problems so far. But the error he is getting just doesn't make sense for me. The script is executed by WPKG (which I'm using for software deployment) and I get the following error in the logfile: ERROR : Could not process (install) package 'Test-Package' (test):|Exit code returned non-successful value (255) on command 'cmd /c perl "\\server\install\bin\shortcut.pl" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Test-Package\test.exe" special:"AllUsersStartMenu\Programme\Test-Package\Test"'. Executing the script on the same host manually gives the following: C:\> cmd /c perl shortcut.pl shortcut.pl test Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80004002: "Schnittstelle nicht unterstützt" at shortcut.pl line 34 "Schnittstelle nicht unterstützt" translates to "No such interface supported". The version of the Windows Scripting Host appears to be 5.7: C:\> cscript /? Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host, Version 5.7 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. The affected systems are Windows XP SP2 (iirc, might be SP3) German and Scripting Host 5.7. Other systems with Windows XP SP3 German and Scripting Host 5.6 and Windows Server 2003 German with either Scripting Host 5.6 or 5.7 do NOT show this behaviour. I'll test some Windows XP SP3 systems with Scripting Host 5.7 this afternoon. Sadly I don't have direct access to the machines in question so I cannot really run any extensive tests. Has anyone else witnessed such behaviour and maybe knows the reason or even better a solution for this problem? Its kind of blocking a couple of software installations. :/ Any help on this would be appreciated, - jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
