Get-Process Missing Exe Properties

[lpalacio]

I have a compiled script and I'm adding some features to allow automatic updates and prevention of multiple executable executions but when I run Get-Process against the currently running exe it doesn't return all the properties correctly even if I filled them out in the compiler window. For example:

Code: Select all

PS> get-process | ? {$_.ProcessName -eq "Test-Agent"} | select *

Is there a way to get those properties filled?

The exe is compiled with the PS v5 Host (Windows Service) engine.

Product, version and build:
5.4.145 x64
Operating system:
W10 1709 x64

Can you provide us with the screen shot of the Script Packager 'version information' settings? This can help us troubleshoot the issue.

Thx

Just did a test on a running process and found no missing properties information.

Code: Select all

Get-Process -Name "VRKTray" | Select-Object -Property * | Get-Member -MemberType pro* | Select-Object Name

Can you explain which one(s) are missing?

Thx

See screenshot below.

On the first post I marked the properties that are missing with "MISSING??"

Thanks.

Please verify that the generated executable also has these properties set (Right-Click on the exe->Properties->Details).

And does the package executable use RunAs or Impersonate?

[mxtrinidad]

The version information you provided looks good. Now, what about under "Installer" section in the "Product Detail".
Are you creating an MSI installer for it?

Also, there's the possibility of creating the executable in a different location and not running with the updated detail information.

Everything shown in your print-screen looks good and should display the information in the Get-Process.

[lpalacio]

I figured it out. It turns out that if I pipe Get-Process (without a filter) to Where-Object the properties aren't there.

If I filter from Get-Process then the properties are there.

Thanks for the assist.

Nvm my last post. The issue ended up being UAC, the PS instance had to be running with admin privileges to retrieve all the properties from the object.
