Windows 10 and Ps1 files

My PDQ packages that use .ps1 scripts to install msi's and .exe applications fails in Windows 10. They work in Windows 8.1 and below, but on 10, for some reason, the scripts sometimes hang at the line that calls the setup.exe or .msi.

 

for example for citrix, the script hangs on this line:

Start-Process -FilePath $FiletoInstall -ArgumentList ' /ALLOWADDSTORE=N /Silent /noreboot' -Verb runas -Wait

 

where $FiletoInstall  is the citrix installer declared earlier on in the script.

 

As mentioned above this exact same package works on Windows 8.1 and below.

In the taskmgr on 10, it looks like the software is just sitting there for no reason, memory delta, private working set, and shared working set remain unchanged during the whole ordeal. I can produce a process dump if someone can analyze whats going on.

 

thanks,

    After working with the customer on an internal support ticket and trying to replicate the issue here in the lab, it was discovered that this should be working properly and the issue was something environmental on his console machine.
