      Hi All,
      I am running RC-8 and am having trouble with a snapin pack. Disclaimer, this is all new to me so I could be missing something simple. I uploaded my .zip and tried both MSI and EXE attempts to no avail. I tried with and without the /quiet arguments as well. It gets past the point of downloading and running the msi or exe but then nothing. The processes sit there with little resource use and sit until I end them. I am thinking that it is a function of the specific MSI or EXE I am trying, but I wanted to cover my bases. See the below screens for more info.

        @Joe-Schmitt said in Snapin Pack:

        the one thing I’m seeing from those screenshots is that you have a sub-directory in your zip file.

        I knew this would be confusing for folks, and there’s no way around it, people just need to understand the pathing. It took me months of here-and-there moments to wrap my head around it. So nobody would have to go through that, In the SnapinPacks wiki article, I explained this at very great length.

          @fry_p the one thing I’m seeing from those screenshots is that you have a sub-directory in your zip file. Specifically mentalray_Plugin_for_Maya_2016_EN_JP_ZH_Windows_dlm. I also noticed this is the same name as your zip file. Unless you have that specific folder inside the zip, the folder path should be removed from Snapin Pack Arguments.

            @Wayne-Workman I did not, but I was messing around manually running with arguments and /quiet or anything like that still prompted for a license agreement. The msi didn’t prompt with that argument, but just hung. I resorted to deploying through group policy for now. I think it ended up being a function of the way the installer was made. Regardless, I have used snapins lately for simpler stuff and it works great! Flash player and adobe reader work flawlessly.

                @fry_p /quiet should do the trick but some installers use their own switches as well to make them silent. This is totally on the installer though. /Quiet is typical for MSI but if msiexec is not the calling point I have no idea what would be needed.

                  @Tom-Elliott I will try RC-10. I am calling the /quiet argument which I thought would make it silent. I don’t know much about this stuff, so is there another argument I need to find?

                      Please ensure the snapin loading files are calling the installer into a ‘silent’ mode as it sounds likely the program installing is waiting for input
