Winbatch RunElevated strange behaviour ?

[nicolaslebrun]

Hi,

I got this piece of winst code to install printer driver on Win10...

Code: Alles auswählen

Message "Installation des drivers par WinBatch"
UpdateEnvironment
WinBatch_pnputil_10 /RunElevated 

[WinBatch_pnputil_10]
%system%\PNPUtil.exe /add-driver c:\drv-imp\*.inf /subdirs /install 

I can't understand the logs... because PNPUtil.exe does exist.
I tried wihtout UpdateEnvironment, or without %system% it's the same.

Code: Alles auswählen

The same line " C:\Windows\system32\PNPUtil.exe /add-driver c:\drv-imp\*.inf /subdirs /install " does work in a terminal command (event launch as system with psexec).

Any idea ?

Thanks Bardo for your answer...

I initially add the version above

Code: Alles auswählen

Message "Installation des drivers par WinBatch"
UpdateEnvironment
WinBatch_pnputil_10 /RunElevated /Sysnative

[WinBatch_pnputil_10]
PNPUtil.exe /add-driver c:\drv-imp\*.inf /subdirs /install 

When I add /Sysnative (with or without %system% as i suppose c:\windows\system32 is in PATH ), the opsi-script remains stuck ( i have to remove setup and reboot !!! )....

I should have posted this version first.
The same line does work properly

Code: Alles auswählen

PNPUtil.exe /add-driver c:\drv-imp\*.inf /subdirs /install

Nicolas

And

Code: Alles auswählen

Message "Installation des drivers par WinBatch"
DosBatch_pnputil_10 WINST /Sysnative /Showoutput

[DosBatch_pnputil_10]
%system%\PNPUtil.exe /add-driver c:\drv-imp\*.inf /subdirs /install 

remains stuck too... despite the same line is OK in cmd or powershell...

What am I missing ?

What am I missing ?

I'm not sure if PNPutil can handle a wildcard. I have this in a script:

Code: Alles auswählen

[Winbatch_install_drivers_64]
"%SystemRoot%\system32\forfiles.exe" /P "$InstallDir64$" /S /M *.inf /C "cmd.exe /c PnPutil.exe -a @Path"

[nicolaslebrun]

Thanks, SisterOfMercy,

I'm not sure if PNPutil can handle a wildcard.

In Win10, it does work.

I have some new behaviours with winst 4.1+ I hadn't with 4.0.7, but i'm not able to understand why...

Could it be a 32bit/64bit issue?
Take a look at the end of Section 9.12

Hi Thomas,

I think it was Bardo's suggest after my first post.

There was a mistake in my original post, but I always launch in /Sysnative and the %system% should not differ...

It's just as if the System Account does not access anymore to some Environment Variables, some paths ...

Is there a place to see the "complete' winst changelog ?

Thks,
Nico
