Solidworks 2023 Auto Deploy

Unread post by MiGuy4 »

I am running in to an issue where I have an administrative image created, and everythings works if I launch the StartSWInstall.hta.

When I attempt to Auto Deploy, however, the task is being created in task scheduler on the desired destination but the 'Actions' includes some extra items.

"\\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.hta\StartSWInstall.exe" /install

The path that does work if I modify it is:
"\\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.exe" /install

Is there any way to correct this?

Thanks!

Did you figure out your issue?

I traditional think of the startswinstall.hta as being the "user-activated" deployment method. if I am auto-deploying I want to launch startswinstall.exe which appears only as a blank command prompt window if activated by the user.

This path also does not make sense: "\\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.hta\StartSWInstall.exe" /install

The second path looks correct to me. "\\serverpathhere\StartSWInstall.exe" /install
