PDQ will show it as running the entire length of the deployment then report success. System services are created (all 4 of them). You'll notice 2-3 different BT.exe's running on the details tab in task manager. Similar process but the actual deploy takes a bit longer, it takes several minutes (8 minutes for my environment).
#BARTENDER 4 COMMANDS INSTALL#
There are also no Bartender services installed (there should be 4) INSTALL STEP (success w/ 32-bit) It exists in Add/Remove programs but not on desktop or start menu. Once it finishes (you will see in task manager details tab the process BT isn't running) it is only partially installed with some files in C:\Program Files (x86) but the only 2 executable files are Register.exe and and you can't launch BarTender. Then a BT process runs on the target machine for a couple more minutes. It will partially install on target and in PDQ it will say it was successful after less than 1 minute. 2022 does not have a 32-bit version of the application and I won't try to do the 64-bit again. Behavior seems to be the same on 2021 R9 32-bit using PowerShell. Quick Update: I can no longer obtain 2021 R8 32-bit to test.
It also appears 2021 R9 is out, and so is 2022 R2, so I will test those as well. Perhaps you're trying with the 32-bit application? I try to avoid using 32-bit when possible but will attempt with that version. It appears you are using the same version (177370) but mine has _圆4 at the end. I've tried exactly these two methods when previously attempting to deploy BT. Either way it seems that they did something since version 2019 where it doesn't like PDQ for whatever reason.
#BARTENDER 4 COMMANDS SOFTWARE#
msi out of either EXE, I might try that tomorrow as I'm not looking to install SQL or any other features in BarTender other than the main software itself.
#BARTENDER 4 COMMANDS FULL#
msi, but you need to use the full EXE instead if you want silent parameters for install. Then it goes on to say versions 2019 and higher can still extract the.
msi from the 2016 EXE if you want to deploy it that way, although it seems unnecessary as it deploys fine as an EXE. If you read documentation on their website, it says you CAN extract the. (Following Dirk Buender's suggestion for deployment) However, I AM able to install version 2016 through PDQ without problems, either through install step, Powershell, or CMD. \\Full\UNC\Path\To\EXE\BT2021_R8_177370_Full_圆4.exe FEATURE=BarTender INSTALLSQL= False BLS=LicenseServer: 5160 If I am on the local machine I can run the following Powershell or CMD command to install with no issues. You cannot repair the software or run it, you can just remove it. When doing it through PDQ it will only partially install to the point that it's in add/remove programs, but no files existed in Program Files.
#BARTENDER 4 COMMANDS UPDATE#
Just an update as I was working on this today.īarTender versions 20 will not install through PDQ in any way I've tried. As long as it gets installed successfully is all I am aiming for. If you want to download BT to try to help out, you do not need a license to install it - just to launch and use it. The install step command line looks like this: BT2021_R8_177370_Full_圆4.exe FEATURE=BarTender INSTALLSQL=False BLS=LicenseServer:5160 I am also including the entire directory where it is stored on a NAS server (full access to everyone) and I tried run as deploy user (domain admin) and local system, with same results occurring. When I try to do an install step in PDQ it will run for 2 minutes then say successful - again the same symptoms as above with file explorer opening and nothing being installed. I also notice when the command finishes, it opens System32 in File Explorer. When I try to do a Powershell script step in PDQ (with the same command as above) it will run for about 1 minute then says successful - but nothing is installed on the test PC. Not a huge deal but just annoying since it was specified in the command line. Two things do not occur in this scenario:Ģ) BT doesn't register on first launch, you have to "search the network for a license" then pick the license from the aforementioned license server, then it is registered.
#BARTENDER 4 COMMANDS .EXE#
exe to the desktop of my test PC and I run the following Powershell command, the command completes within a minute or so, and it takes an additional 10 minutes for the install to completely finish as seen in task manager background processes.\BT2021_R8_177370_Full_圆4.exe FEATURE=BarTender INSTALLSQL=False BLS=LicenseServer:5160 I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to get this working with BarTender 2021 R8.
