One folder above. Is there anything else there besides PowerShell Studio? Additionally, is this machine connected to the internet?

Ok, you have shown me C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2017 but not the folder I was asking about.

" C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc" is what I was asking about.

I have no idea what that root folder might be. We do not create that there on purpose. I would suspect that some user is not correctly configured and the user folder defaults to C:\

I have our QA department look into this and see what we can find out.

Ok, we are investigating this. So far this seems to be a Windows 8.x problem, but we need to look some more.

With a manual installation, everytning seems to be fine.
Unattend seems to be correct (I have Document Explorer 2017, PowerShell Studio 2017, SAPIEN Document Explorer 2017, SAPIEN PowerShell Studio 2017, SAPIEN ScriptMerge 2017, SAPIEN Updates, ScriptMerge 2017)
Under system account it is not correct.

I believe the problem is not with Windows 8.1 but the installer. May be not interpreting correctly the environment as system account is seeing the environment differently.

It's a run-of-the-mill Windows Installer, there is really nothing special about it. We make no distinction in the installer in regards to the user account.

I ran several tests on Windows 8 VM, and it works fine for me. All products were installed.
But depending of what prerequisites need to be installed it's taking some time.
Have you checked installed products right after command completed?
Did you check if installer still running?

Did you test the installation with the system account?
All failure are done Under the system account.
Is it possible to create a log of the installation from your setup program?

This morning I ran more test unattend and attend. When ran Under my account, no problem but with the system account then I got the failures.

I did test with psexec -s -s cmd.exe and then launch the setup.

To solve the issue, I had to get the prerequisite from %appdata%\PowerShellStudio\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2017\prerequisites and installed them separately then everything is fine.

I believe you should get a look to this issue or confirm how to get the prerequisites.

Thanks,
