This has been a huge problem for the last 2 years for me (longer if you search the forums) and there has yet to be a proper solution offered.
When trying to deploy SOLIDWORKS 2017 via command line the installer stops with an error 1722 then backs the install out.
Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows
Installer package. A program run as part of the setup
did not finish as expected. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Action
register_i386_SldShellExtServerExe, location:
C:\Program
Files\SOLIDWORKS\sldShellExtServer.exe, command:
sldshellextserver.ese /REGSERVER
This is not an issue using the "graphical" install but I am trying to deploy this on over 100 machines so hand installing is not an option. I had this issue with the 2015 and 2016 version as well.
Is there going to be any fix for this?
I have attached a screenshot that has the error and a portion of the log. I have also attached the full install log as well as the VB script I use to install all the dependencies.
