  • 1.  Automation folder empty - need peinstall_x86.exe

    Posted Aug 28, 2015 01:46 PM

    Ok so we do not use DS (yet) and I am cleaning up my package servers after going to 7.5 sp1.

    I had some packages that were pointing to a static server which is no longer valid and now they use a location on NS which all others are set to.. so general house cleaning that was my doing.. however...

    DS - Automation Folder is empty and my package servers are saying 

    retrying download.....

    nscap\bin\Win32\X86\Deployment\Automation has nothing in it...

     

    so how to cleanup?

    Thanks!

    Do you know if you installed the WAIK?

    Take a look at the DS doc here;
    http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC7207

    Around page 111-112 there's a bit of language around creating the proboot, this includes the Automation folders. In 7.5 SP1 the WinPE components (WAIK) was unbundled due to Microsoft licensing if memory serves me. My thought is this is perhaps what you're running into, if you've never used it.
