DPInst.Exe Issues With Packaging
Updated: 22 May 2010 | 2 comments
I am having an issue with trying to install drivers using DPInst.exe.
If I manually run the command DPInst.exe /S /F /SE /C /SW from the package location either on the local machine or package server the driver is installed without any issues.
However, when I use the pakcage itself which has the same command line it fails with a 2147549184 error code.
It is suppossed to create a folder under C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE and an entry in Add\Remove programs when it install properly. As stated I have no issue running the command manually but the package fails when using the same command line.

Do you have quotes around the command line? This sounds like the old 'failure to start' when Altiris is unable to find the package. I see DPInst.exe is a Microsoft utility, do you know where to download it from (I only found descriptions of it).

I do not have quotes around the command line.
If I put quotes aorund the command line I do get the "failure to start" error.
I also get the "failure to start" if I specify any credentials other than SYSTEM.
The current error is different from the failure to start error.
I was given the utility by a vendor. I have attched the actual files that the package is made up of. It also includes the DPInst.exe file as well.
