Unable to set working directory (-2147024832) for some app installs

I've found several drivers on a Dell Laptop that don't play well with others in MDT 2012, so I started making an application install package for them instead.  Most of them fail with an "unable to set working directory" error.  I checked
the app install logs and they don't really make any sense to me.  I know the process as a whole works, because I can install .Net 4.0 runtimes without any problems using the same method.  The important bits of the ZTI App log are below.  Would
be for any guidance on this, as I'm stumped and none of the searches on the exact errors are of much help.
A sample error returned in the wizard is:
WARNING - unable to set working directory (-2147024832)Error installing application Dell 3440_Chipset_Driver_JD3WN IMEI drivers 9.5.3.1520_A00: The system cannot find the file specified.
The ZTIApplication.log file contains the following... the first is one that works (.NET 4), the second is one that fails. (Not using code block for this one, it doesn't like it).

Why can't it find it or set the working directory, especially when it's already validated that it's there?

I'm not familiar with how Dell does their client side software, but for the server-side software (my area of expertise), I've always done something like the following:
I recommend running every application install in a VBScript/Powershell wrapper.  You get logging for the application back on your SLShare as well as its cleaner (you can replace Drivers A05 with A06 by changing the script, rather than editing the application
in MDT).
sApplicationName = "Dell 12G Chipset"
oLogging.CreateEntry "Install-" & sApplicationName & ": Starting " & sApplicationName & " installation", LogTypeInfo
'//Set Destination Folder
sDestFolder = "c:\temp\"
'//Set Source Install Directory
sSourceDir = oUtility.ScriptDir
sSourceDir = sSourceDir & "\Source"
'//Check that folder exists, if not, create it.
oLogging.CreateEntry "Install-" & sApplicationName & ": Check that " & sDestFolder & " exists.", LogTypeInfo
if not oFSO.FolderExists (sDestFolder) then
oFSO.CreateFolder sDestFolder
End If
'//Copy folder from MDT share to C:\Temp
oLogging.CreateEntry "Install-" & sApplicationName & ": Copy from " & sSourceDir & " to " & sDestFolder, LogTypeInfo
oFSO.CopyFolder sSourceDir, sDestFolder
'//Sleep for 2 seconds to allow copy to finish
wscript.sleep 2000
sFile = sDestFolder & "Source\setup.exe"
'// Check if file/folder exists
If not oFSO.FileExists(sFile) then
oLogging.CreateEntry "Install-" & sApplicationName & ": " & sFile & " was not found, unable to install " & sApplicationName & "", LogTypeError
ZTIProcess = Failure
Exit Function
End if
'// Create log entry to show file being run
oLogging.CreateEntry "" & sFile & " -s", LogTypeInfo
iRetVal = oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat("" & sFile & " -s")
if (iRetVal = 0) or (iRetVal = 3010) then
ZTIProcess = Success
Else
ZTIProcess = Failure
End If
wscript.sleep 15000
'// Disable Zone Checks
oEnv("SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS") = 1
'//Folder Cleanup
oFSO.DeleteFolder sDestFolder & "Source"
I always copy any drivers that are installed after the fact (everything for me other than SAS/NIC drivers) to the C:\Temp as it can break.  I always update my NIC drivers during the build to the latest Dell software using their packs.  I try to
not mess with my boot image unless I'm adding a new model that is not supported by the built-in drivers.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

    I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
    Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

  • Unable to set the ip address for hosted network client after creating WIFI hotspot

    Original Title: INTERNET CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM WITH MY LAPTOP WIFI HOTSPOT
    HI all
    I am able to use internet connection from my lap hotspot, when the internet source is Public or private wifi.
    so I know the cmd window commands for hotspot and settings of client(sharing to hosted network client, assigning IP address etc.,)
    but the problem I am facing is slight different
    I am using my cdma wireless broadband datacard as my source internet connection(Reliance netconnect +)
    when I try to create hotspot for this, as usual I am able to create the hotspot and able to share the internet to hostednework client.
    but I am unable to set the ip address for hosted network client, if I try to set ip 192.169.137.1 and 255.255.255.0
    as soon as I close the window, the ip address also disappears
    when connect my android phone to that hotspot, it is able to connect but there is no internet connectivity.
    when I check the hostednetwork client for packet transmission, both sent and received packet is happening., I mean transmitting
    so what cause the failure in internet connectivity but success in hotspot connectivity?
    check the screen shots...
    can u help me..
    its little complicated

    Hi,
    Please make sure the Ad hoc connection IP adress is at the same range with your local connection. In addition, how about recreate the ad hoc connection for test, please have a try.
    If problem persists, please use Network troubleshooter in Action Center to fix this problem for test.

  • I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

    I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

  • Looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free

    looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free or even paid will work.

    I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers.  I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time.  I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it.  As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you  cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
    The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince.  I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
    As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped.  For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc.  I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

    For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

    Can you be clearer about what you're seeing?  The price should be clearly stated up front...  Is that not the case?  Note that there may be additional taxes that will increase the final price, and that can't be included in that up-front listed price, since taxes are different everywhere.

  • Install option not available in App Store for some apps

    Why is the option to install not available for some apps?  The app info shows up but the install button is not there.

    The button should read either the price of the App, or Free if they are free. Alternatively if you have purchased/downloaded the App in the past but deleted it from the device, it should have a button with a cloud icon.
    Pressing it will initate download and installation.
    Is none of this the case?

  • TS4268 I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating

    I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating. I've double checked all the settings but still can't sign in. Any sugestions?

    Try this - sign out of your Apple ID and reboot the iPad, then try all over again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    After the iPad starts up, go back to the settings for Messages and FaceTime and your Apple ID, and sign into all three again.
    Sign into Settings>Store first

    Remove the App Store app from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the App Store app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    Try the App Store again
