PDQ Deployment Successful Yet Program Is Not Fully Installed
Tony Cannizzo
I am trying to do a silent install of a program called EdgeCam. Firs I run the setup.exe /r command and install the software to create an .iss file. So far so good. When I try to push the software using PDQ Deploy it says successful yet the main EdgeCam program is not installed. I know that the setup installs various Microsoft redistributables like Visual C++ versions and a SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client but it never installs the EdgeCam software itself. How can I tell where this is failing?

Hi Tony,
You might want to see if you can grab/extract the MSI from that program.
I noticed that with the update of the Deploy software, EXE's are not working as expected.
Some of my old packages have ceased to work that were based on EXE's. I'm sure they're planning on fixing this, but for now, i've resorted to using MSI since it's a "cleaner" install anyways.
Unfortunately there is no msi. I spoke to the folks who make the software hoping that one would be available.
Oops, i didn't answer your question.
Here's a link to see how/where the installation is failing.

you would have to create a batch file and include the command to run the installation in it.
TonsOfFun,
What problems are you having with EXEs? Are you having issues other than with the latest Java update?
Yes, i had a problem with Adobe Acrobat X Professional as well.
I was using Setup.exe that came with the package.
But the install came with the MSI, and that's working fine now. :)
Okay, thanks. I was wondering if it was a general problem specific EXEs.
I know this thread is very old. But I'm currently having the same thing happen. PDQ returns success, but the program isn't fully installed. Missing DLL's, etc. I do have the 'include entire directory' box checked.
Did the OP ever find a solution/problem?
