@x23piracy method of installing google chrome via snapins and using the settings he posted successfully did a silent install of Google Chrome on a machine I deployed to.
Okay I will change the template to MSI and try to deploy it. Should any other settings be changed? That you see of?
@Tom-Elliott said in Install Google Earth:
is setup as a pack? If you’re using the exe file itself? Packs are meant to be used as a “series” of data to be run/installed using a common executable to manage (maybe script is better?)
I did it as a pack because there was no template for an exe file as a regular snapin? What template should I select if I use snapin.
I am trying to install Google Earth via snapin and this is not working. Here is the file I am using and I will post my snapins settings as well so you can view them. I see the file go into the TMP folder but the program is not actually installed. Any suggestions ??

@Tom-Elliott
If I manually execute it creates a log file, if I deploy using FOG’s snapin feature a log is generated. Do you have a script that you can send me for a test? Or something you suggest? Something simple ? Just so we can pin point the problem.
@Tom-Elliott said in Snapins not working properly:
e to ask how you know it’s not being executed.
I ask because to know absolutely if it’s being run or not (and it’s running with an expectation the snapin system doesn’t have access to from the client). Can you make your script write to a log file somewhere on the machine. If the log is generated, then you know the script IS or isn’t running abso
The script is not being ran. The log was not generated.
@Wayne-Workman I am configuring the snapin correctly and followed the example. It works properly, i see the file placed in the TMP folder and FOG gives a message stating that the program was installed or the file was ran but any type of file (exe, msi, bat or any kind of script) is always placed in the folder but never ran/executed. This is why I believe it is a permissions issue.
Hello,
I currently have been using FOG to deploy to Windows 10 to machines in mulitpile departments and have been able to do so successfully. I would like to try to start using the “Snapins” Feature FOG has to offer to deploy some software we use here at my company. I have not been able to successfully use any of the “snapin features” even somthing as simple as a run a batch script. I am aware that FOG uses the “system” or “root” user to run these files. I will post screenshots of the permissions to the TMP folder where the files are placed when deployed via snapin. I am able to see the files placed in the TMP folder and the fog installer says the program was installed “successfully” but the software was not. Just wondering if it’s a setting on my workstation or something to do with FOG why I am unable to deploy any snapins. It’s as if the file is deployed no matter what template or file type I use by the files are never ran. I’m assuming it has something to do with a permissions issue but I can really use some help on this! Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Interesting my machine is sysprepped as well and I unpinned everything from the start menu before uploading my image. After deploying to a target machine, every time a new user logs in all the apps are pinned to start as well as the task bar… It seems to be every time a new user profile is downloaded from our server.

Currently logged in user. If there’s a way to set it up for all users that’s what I would prefer.
@george1421 How would I check this setting on the FOG Server? Where can I check if my DNS Resolver is pointing to my AD Server.
@Tom-Elliott said in Powershell Snapin:
r script work from a user perspective? Remember snapins run as the SYSTEM user, so removing applications in the manner, as I understand it, is relevant to the SYSTEM user not the logged in user.
logged in as a user I am able to run the script. What “system” user is the fog script running as?
If I manually run the script on the machine I wanna send it to via snapin it works successfully.
