Microsoft Endpoint Manager app deployment

Hi,

I am trying to deploy an app using Endpoint manager and I'm running into the same issue - "file not found"

The application consists of multiple subfolders, with the setup program buried deep in the structure.
The application has been packaged using the intune packager and uploaded.

When I specify the executable path I have tried:

.\folder1\folder2\folder3\setup.exe -switch1 -switch2 -switch3
\folder1\folder2\folder3\setup.exe -switch1 -switch2 -switch3
".\folder1\folder2\folder3\setup.exe -switch1 -switch2 -switch3"
"\folder1\folder2\folder3\setup.exe -switch1 -switch2 -switch3"

But nothing seems to work. Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

    Hi,

    Try specifying file path with variable "%~dp0".

    Example:
    File that is executed is located in C:\Temp\test.cmd

    If you run the %~dp0 in the test.cmd it will return "C:\Temp\" - directory path where it is executed from.

    So, if you want to run another script/installation file from main installation file (in this case C:\Temp\test.cmd) that is located in C:\Temp\temp2 simply write:
    "%~dp0temp2\installationpart2.cmd"

    I use %~dp0 in my deployment scripts all the time.

    Hope it helps you!

    Kind regards,
    Domagoj Novak

    @Matt Standing , Agree with Domagoj, We can consider to use a batch file to run the install command and use "%~dp0" as a relative path. Here are some examples for the reference:

    Hope it can help.

    Thanks I'll give it a go. To confirm, my install command in the app deployment section will now look something like:

    %~dp0folder2\folder3\setup.exe -switch1 -switch2 -switch3

    Thank you. Not sure if I can use quotes as one of the switches already requires quotes:

    %~dp0CATIA_PLM_Express.win_b64\1\WIN64\startb.exe -ident R30 -newdir -orbixport 1570 -orbixbase 1590 -orbixrange 200 -noLang "fr ge it ru jp ch ko" -addUserPrivilegesForOrbix -all -noreboot

    The install starts, sits at "Pending" for about 30 mins and then fails with the same error.

    To confirm, the source files are located in c:\temp\CATIA_R30

    The setup file is located in C:\temp\CATIA_R30\V5-6R2020.CATIA_PLM_Express.win_b64.1-2\1.CATIA_PLM_Express.win_b64\1\WIN64:

    I use the following values for the Intune packager:

    And the following app deployment paths:
