PENDING Package stuck installing

[piggywhiskers]

Version 2309

I've deployed a package that will run a PS script. The script works fine when run through PowerShell on the client, software installs, but when running it via Software Centre it gets stuck installing.

Deployed from Distribution Point.

Looking at exec.mgr log, I have this last line of action and then nothing more:
MTC task with id {73776C76-F5F5-47EB-B40C-CC17305ED230}, changed state from 4 to 5

Any suggestions?

Command line = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -executionPolicy unrestricted -noexit -file "Agent 3.0.1 Package.ps1"

just had a quick look at one of mine that deploys a BIOS package via Ps.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Bypass -Command "&{.\****.ps1}"

I don't see any issues with that command. Try what @rob287 mentioned.

So migtht be something to do with the script, but it does work when running it normally.

Bit further now, changed the suggestiong from: C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Bypass -Command "&{.\****.ps1}"

to

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "&{.\****.ps1}"

It runs, no errors, but doesn't install at all.

I guess the script is fine, but from the log, i see this:
Execution is complete for program NCPA Agent. The exit code is 1,
