Snapin error codes

[Scott Adams]

I created a snapin that runs a .bat file. If I run the .bat file locally on my computer (not using FOG), it runs fine. Using a FOG Snapin, it looks like it runs, even says successful, but no program is installed.

What is a return code 4?

Can we get a copy of the .bat file? Remove IPs and replace with x.x.x.x and remove usernames and replace with UserNameGoesHere and passwords with PasswordGoesHere

[Quazz]

I believe the error codes are general windows error codes (correct me if I’m wrong)

In which case it’s

ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES
4 (0x4)
The system cannot open the file.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

Which of course isn’t particularly helpful on its own.

@Wayne-Workman

set programpath=%programfiles(x86)%
IF %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==x86 set programpath=%programfiles%
IF EXIST "%programpath%\Beyond Question" GOTO END
xcopy /e "\\x.x.x.x\WES_Apps\Technology\Beyond Question\Beyond Question" "C:\%programpath%\Beyond Question"
:END

#Edited to show the double slashes by placing in code ticks.

[Wayne Workman]

@Scott-Adams the xcopy command is using the locally logged in user when you run it manually, and is using SYSTEM when snapins run it. You have to specify credentials, or set the share to read-only for “everyone”.

@Scott-Adams

xcopy /e “\\x.x.x.x\WES_Apps\Technology\Beyond Question\Beyond Question” “C:\%programpath%\Beyond Question”

should be

xcopy /e "\\x.x.x.x\WES_Apps\Technology\Beyond Question\Beyond Question" "%programpath%\Beyond Question"

Since %programpath% will include the drive letter already as inherited from %programfiles(x86)%

Please test the batch file manually to confirm.

#Edited to add backticks so we can properly see the command.

@Scott-Adams The error codes you see are as they come from the installing program. If it’s from a batch file, it’s likely a batch file error code.

It’s apparently the error code of a portion of the batch, not the batch itself.

[Quazz]

@Tom-Elliott TIL xcopy has internal error codes, that’s very useful.
