      My apologies for my absence.

      @Wayne-Workman
      I think you put your finger on the problem.

      @jbsclm
      AVG don’t remove this key.

      @joe-schmitt
      %WINDIR%\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe does not exist.
      I test with %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe but not working…

        @aruhuno the native path does exist, it’s just not tab accessible. Unless of course powershell isn’t installed I suppose.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          It works with %WINDIR%\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe!
          Why FOG don’t use by default this path?

          Thanks a lot for your help!

          edit: can you mark the post from Joe as solution please?

            @aruhuno I think that the problem is that if we just always use that path, then all x86 installations would fail (I don’t believe that a 32bit machine has a sysnative folder). If we put in a check that will attempt to use the 64 bit powershell if its running on a 64 bit machine, I think that would be good. For now, I just plan to use that path instead of powershell.exe.

              @Szeraax is correct. We do provide Snapin templates for both Powershell and Powershell 64 bit for this reason. Eventually when we allow the client to install as 64 bit on machines, then this problem won’t exist.

                @joe-schmitt Good point. 32bit client is having to escape the normal system. 64 bit client would use powershell.exe and get the correct one by default. Anything us plebs can do to help get a 64bit client out?

                  @Szeraax the client itself is actually already 64 bit compatible. It gets installed as 32 bit because the msi targets 32 bit. I suppose going forward I could either make 2 different installers (one for each architecture) or build a single installer that can target either.

                    @joe-schmitt If you made it auto-target 64, would that potentially break people who use it to install 32bit programs?

                      @szeraax I doubt it. 32 bit installers usually have no issue installing in 64 bit systems, as you the the fog client installs and runs just fine, mostly, in 32 bit mode. You might run into issues using powershell or some scripts that might require a pure 32 bit mode but I can’t think of one that is that specific currently.

                        @tom-elliott Powershell as of… a year or two ago VASTLY prefers to be run in the system native bitness. Hence, we had all those issues when I was trying to Import-Module for stuff that was on the system, but available only to the 64bit version of powershell. I doubt that you would have ANY problems from powershell if client were to auto-target either.

                          @szeraax I meant you wanting, for some reason, to run a 32 bit powershell script from a 64 bit instance.

                            @tom-elliott Ah. I haven’t yet ever found a need to run x86 powershell on x64 machine.
