Setup process error: Unknown error. (2)

Solution

1. Create 3rd party installation package (Create installation package -> Create an installation package for the specified executable file.)

2. Specify executable file, for example script.sh

3. Locate this package folder in KSC storage, by default %ProgramData%\KasperskyLab\adminkit\1093\.working\share\Packages\(package_name)

4. Edit .\(package_name)\executable_package.kpd: remove exec\ from Executable path, add DontWrap=1 option. Setup section should read the following:

executable_package.kpd

Executable=script.sh

DontWrap=1

Params=

5. Edit .\(package_name)\exec\executable_package.kpd: remove exec\ from Executable path, add DontWrap=1 option. Setup section should read the following:

6. Copy .\(package_name)\exec\script.sh to .\(package_name)\script.sh

7. Check that in package Settings, "Executable file" changed from exec\script.sh to script.sh

8. Use this package in "install application remotely" task
