Powershel Get Elevated process ExitCode

Question

I am trying to install an application silently but I could not get the proper exit code since I am running with elevated privilege.
Note $Credential trying to install with another local user with admin privilages. Please advice on this.


$tab = "C:\Tab Server"
$tab = "D:\TabInstaller\TabServer-64bit.exe"
$tablog = "C:\Temp\Tableaulog\TabInstaller.log"

$list = "-noprofile -command ""Start-Process cmd.exe -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList '/c ""$tab"" /silent /install ACCEPTEULA=1 ACTIVATIONSERVICE=0 """"""INSTALLDIR=$($drive)"""""" ""/log $tablog""'"""

[int]$result = (Start-Process "powershell.exe" -Credential $credential -ArgumentList $list -NoNewWindow -Wait -Passthru).ExitCode

Answer 1

Have you tried it this way?

$tab = "C:\Tab Server"
$tab = "D:\TabInstaller\TabServer-64bit.exe"
$tablog = "C:\Temp\Tableaulog\TabInstaller.log"

$list = "-noprofile -command ""Start-Process cmd.exe -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList '/c ""$tab"" /silent /install ACCEPTEULA=1 ACTIVATIONSERVICE=0 """"""INSTALLDIR=$($drive)"""""" ""/log $tablog""'"""

$proc = Start-Process "powershell.exe" -Credential $credential -ArgumentList $list -NoNewWindow -Wait -Passthru
if ($proc.ExitCode . . . ){
    # do something
}

Hello there,

You may try to get the process first to understand why the silent installation is not getting proper exit.

Get-Process | Add-Member -Name Elevated -MemberType ScriptProperty -Value {if ($this.Name -in @('Idle','System')) {$null} else {-not $this.Path -and -not $this.Handle} } -PassThru |

Format-Table Name,Elevated

Hope this resolves your Query !!
