Some Installs Blocking

[canderson]

I've noticed that when installing with the /s switch, that some installers attempt to prompt the user. We are installing as System as it is being run with a management agent. If a user doesn't acknowledge  the  message, PatchMyPC never times out the install or moves on.

Is there  any way to make it kill unresponsive installers after a timeout  period and continue patching?  Here is the specific piece of software currently holding us up:

Code prompts to the services console "Please uninstall the 32-bit version of Code before installing this 64-bit version." Unfortunately PatchMyPC is  stuck until someone dismisses that.

Any  guidance would be appreciated.

Do you have a list of all apps you have seen this with? I assume this is running from a scheduled task?

This is the only one I have caught so far. We execute this remotely using a management app, and were seeing  the hanging  on some systems. I'll see if  I can find  any others.

We have an app that runs as a service that executes it under the system account, so similar to how a scheduled task would work, but separate.
