Hello

I'm trying to install a .NET agent using the script. I generated the template and now, when trying to install it in the local machine I have the following error:

PS C:\Users\RBOL122\Desktop> Install-Agent .\dotNetAgentSetup64-4.5.15.0.msi
Carte de performance WMI service is already started
Application système COM+ service is already started
Agent install file is not found.

The installation and xml file are inside the directory in which I'm tryng to install.

Hello

I fixed that: 

changed 

function Get-64ArchitectureShared()
{
    Write-Verbose "Checking OS architecture"
    $architecture = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object OSArchitecture
    return $architecture.OSArchitecture -eq "64-bit"
}
for 
function Get-64ArchitectureShared()
{
    Write-Verbose "Checking OS architecture"
    $architecture = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object OSArchitecture
    return $architecture.OSArchitecture -like "*64*"
}
Thanks

I'm not sure you're specifying the path to the setup configuration correctly: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Unattended+Installation+for+.NET

msiexec /i dotNetAgentSetup64.msi /q /norestart /lv %TEMP%\AgentInstaller.log AD_SetupFile=<absolute path to setup config.xml>

Ahh I see, I haven't messed with the extension, but it looks as if you're trying to install it locally off a .msi on your desktop and it's not finding the Agent Install command? A couplet things to check maybe?

Did you import the module? Import-Module .\AppDynamics.psm1

Do you have permissions to write to the RemoteShare/RemotePath?

Is the .msi file you're running Install-Agent in the C:\Users\RBOL122\Desktop> directory?

Hello Eric,

I think the result of the property

$architecture.OSArchitecture 

changed according to the Power Shell version since the creation of the script. The developer was expecting "64-bit" but the acresult is "64 bits".

Thanks
