Installation of Application and Change Control fails on Windows Vista clients when running a batch file that contains the /qb+ switch

Technical Articles ID: KB89866
Last Modified: 5/20/2020

Environment

McAfee Application and Change Control (MACC) 8.0.x, 7.x.x, 6.x.x
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 Business (32-bit)

Problem

A MACC installation fails on Windows Vista clients when you run a batch file that contains the /qb+ switch. Below is an example of the batch file command:

[start /wait setup-win-vista-2008-x86-6.2.0.493.exe /v" /qb+ SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX SHORTCUT=0 /l+*v \"%SYSTEMROOT%\S3Setup.log""]

No errors appear to indicate installation failure and no files are created under C:\Program Files\McAfee\Solidcore or under user temp directory.

Cause

The /qb+ switch is not compatible with the msiexec.exe in Microsoft Windows Vista.

Solution

Use the /qb-! or /qb!- switch when you run the installation of MACC from a batch file. For details, see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367988(v=vs.85).aspx
