Show-InstallationWelcome does not prompt user to close applications on PowerShell v2 because Get-RunningProcesses does not return ProcessDescription property about psappdeploytoolkit

[mmashwani]

Can you please point out where the toolkit suggests that selecting "Continue" will close apps? Because this is incorrect and should be fixed. Continue does not close apps. Continue is an option available to the user if they closed the applications on their own and now want to Continue with the install. The script will at time verify if the applications were actually closed and then bring the window back if they were not close.

Log shows that processes are detected but there is no prompt telling the EU to close the detected processes. only shows defer and continue button. Clicking Continue just opens the same window because the processes are still running, but there is no Dialog to close the running processes.

[spoonypirate]

I just updated one of my installations with this version, and I get the prompts as one should.
If the program isn't an active process from closing it manually the close button won't appear, though, which is also intended.

[mmashwani]

Can you share your log file? I am not able to replicate the issue. If a program is open, I am getting the correct dialog window like the user above.

[CosmicSingularity]

Console Output Since LogFile does not show errors. As you can see in the picture does not show processes to close using Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps 'iexplore,AcroRd32,cidaemon' -AllowDefer -DeferTimes 3

So the issue seems to be only present on windows 7. The above screenshot is from the same script running on Windows 8.1 Pro

[allman1973]

Yes, I can confirm.
This is issue with script on Windows 7

[YayILikePie]

With Windows 7, I don't even get the InstallationWelcome prompt. Instead, when looking through the logs, it will detect the running processes, apply a regkey to block them from running, but starts right away with running the following steps afterwards.

Here's what I'm running:
Show-InstallationWelcome -CloseApps 'iexplore,firefox' -BlockExecution -AllowDeferCloseApps -DeferTimes 5 -PersistPrompt

Here's a snippet of the log, copied using cmtrace.exe.

[AgetroNairb]

I am having the same issue as YayILikePie where, on Windows 7 with PowerShell v2, the InstallationWelcome prompt never appears. On another Windows 7 machine with PS v4, it appears.

[CosmicSingularity]

Nice Catch Agetronairb. So it appears if we want to use 3.6.2 for windows 7, we are going to have first update all windows 7 devices to PS V4. Since 8.1 ships with PS V4 it works out of the box.

[mmashwani]

Can one of you seeing this issue share what your Deploy-Application.exe.config file looks like?

[CosmicSingularity]

[mmashwani]

Ok, that looks correct. Not sure what else could be causing it to fail to show on Win 7/PS 2. I'll see if I can replicate the issue. Let me know if anyone is able to discover anything in their own troubleshooting.

[mmashwani]

Can you do another test on a Win 7/PS2 machine by using the latest Deploy-Application.exe file from here?: https://github.com/PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit/blob/master/Toolkit/Deploy-Application.exe

I realized that there was an invalid embedded manifest file in the exe that should not have been there. Not sure when it got in there but the latest file has removed the manifest so hopefully this was the root cause.

[CosmicSingularity]

I just tried, no difference. however, before trying the new exe, from the original discovery of the issue, the behavior is shown when either running the script via Deploy-Application.exe and Deploy-Application.ps1

Something else to consider. If you can reproduce the behavior in windows 7 PS2 run the same script from both win7 PS2 and PS4 using ISE and look at the console output. There are errors shown in PS2 that are not shown in PS4.

[mmashwani]

I think I've figured out what the problem was. The issue was in the Get-RunningProcesses function. This function adds a ProcessDescription property to the list of processes detected as running but which need to be closed. In PowerShell 2.0, Add-Member adds members only to the PSObject wrapper of objects, not to the object. We have to use -PassThru to create an output object for any object that has a PSObject wrapper.

Anyway, please test again with the latest 3.6.3 beta and let me know if the problem has been resolved:
https://github.com/PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit/blob/master/Toolkit/AppDeployToolkit/AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1

[CosmicSingularity]

Success. the 3.6.3 beta successfully shows the close programs on windows 7 with PS2. Thank you.

[AgetroNairb]

That fixed it for me as well, thanks!

[Symbiot78]

Hi

I tried the 3.6.3 version and that didn't do anything good for me.
As with the 3.6.1 version when I run it.. nothing happens. it launches dep-app.exe for a few seconds then closes down again.
