Windows Update .msu failing to install - Access Denied

[dan.t...@waitrose.co.uk]

Hi Guys,

When I try to run either a .bat file or a .ps1 to install a Windows Hotfix via Packer - the hotfix does not install and the subsequent logs show ACCESS_DENIED.

Script:

*********************

@echo off

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "((new-object net.webclient).DownloadFile('http://<URL REMOVED!>Update-3020369.msu', 'C:\Windows\Temp\Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu'))"

set hotfix="C:\Windows\Temp\Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu"

if not exist %hotfix% goto :eof

:: get windows version

for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%G in ('ver') do (set _version=%%G)

for /f "tokens=2,3,4 delims=. " %%G in ('echo %_version%') do (set _major=%%G& set _minor=%%H& set _build=%%I)

:: 6.1

if %_major% neq 6 goto :eof

if %_minor% lss 1 goto :eof

@echo on

start /wait wusa "%hotfix%" /quiet /norestart /log:C:\Windows\Temp\KB3020369.evt

***********************

Error Message in the setup log:

Windows update  could not be installed because of error 2147942405 "Access is denied." (Command line: "wusa  ""C:\Windows\Temp\Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu"" /quiet /norestart /log:C:\Windows\Temp\KB3020369.evt")

This same script installs the hotfix successfully logged in locally as the same user (Administrator).  

Also  - I script the VMware Tools install in largely the same way - and this works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
