Silent install not closing appliction. Installation aborts
Got a problem with Viscosity or need help? Ask here!
Hi,
We're trying to deploy the latest update of viscosity client on our windows 7 machines.
We have tried running the installer with several of the silent options
Setup has detected that Viscosity is currently running.
None of the closeapplication swithces seem to work.
FYI: We're pushing the client with puppet. But that is actually completely irrelevant. If we run the installer manually from command prompt with the same options, we have the same results.
Any idea's how to go about his?
Thanks!
Bart

Hi Bart,
This dialog cannot be bypassed, you will need to have your puppet script or SCCM gracefully close Viscosity before running the installer. You can do this by issuing a command of "Viscosity.exe exit" as the user running Viscosity.
We've done it this way very much on purpose because using forcecloseapplications will not properly shut down any active connections Viscosity has running (it just kills the task) and can put the machine into a state where there are ghost connections active.

Eric
