Hi Jim,
Installation Manager does not deal with Exit Codes from scripts L. It's
always been a pain in the you know what. I think the new version of
Installation Manager under Windows 2008 does, but haven't personally
messed around with this yet. And as you have seen, SMS, Altiris, etc
will abide by the exit code, so there is nothing wrong with your
script(s).
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Subject: [THIN] Installation manager Exit Codes
Okay here is a question I thought was relatively simple that I have had
a support case with Citrix open for a week....Here is what I am trying
to figure out.....
I have created a wfs file in installation manager to install an
application...All the wfs does is simply execute an installation script
from a network share....The installation script installs the application
and does some checking at the end to ensure the app installed
successfully...If the script determines that the install was not
successful it returns an error code from the script of 1...If successful
it returns 0.....I am looking for Installation Manager to read the exit
code and report success or failure...So far I have only gotten success
as the wfs finds the script and it runs...It does not appear to care how
the script exits.....
If I place the same script in SMS it returns the correct result of
failure if the script returned errorlevel 1 or success if 0 is
returned.....Does anyone know if IM works this way or it will not read
exit codes?
