Problem upgrading to Windows Agent 2.1.1

I'm trying to upgrade from Windows Agent 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 to 2.1.1. All servers report Error on opening file for writing on ocsservice.exe.

 

If I first stop the service and the manualy install/upgrade the agent I the same error on file libay32.dll, msvcp90.dll, msvcr90.dll, mfc90u.dll, zlib1.dll, OcsWmi.dll, Sysinfo.dll, OCSInventory Front.dll, Ocsservice.exe, OcsSysTray.exe. Now ocsservice starts but is still the old version.

Related OS: Windows 2003 SE, EE, Windows 2008 SE.

I'm running a manual script with psexec and following command:

\\<remote location>\Windows-Agent-<version>\OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe /S /SERVER=http://<OCS server>/ocsinventory /TAG=%COMPUTERNAME% /NOW /NOSPLASH

This worked for me to install 2.0.4 and later upgrade to 2.0.5 without reboot. If I try to update to 2.1.1 I need to reboot to let the system release ocsservice.exe.  I also tried the option /UPGRADE without luck.

I'm running a script Remote OCS-NG-Windows-Agent.bat that contains

.\psexec.exe @servers.txt -s -i -c OCS-NG-Windows-Agent.bat

OCS-NG-Windows-Agent.bat:

.\OCS-NG-Windows-Agent-Setup.exe /S /SERVER=http://<ocs server>V/ocsinventory /TAG=%COMPUTERNAME% /NOW /NOSPLASH /NO_SYSTRAY

OS versions: Windows Server 2003 SE/EE SP2, Windows Server 2008 (R2) SE.

I also tried with /NOSOFTWARE and /UPGRADE.

Same problem with deployment tool and local install as user "nt authority\system".

Output on Citrix server running Windows Server 2003 EE SP2:

It turn's out that wmiprvse.exe (windows management instrumentation) has ocsservice.exe locked. After stopping this service, the file ocsservice.exe is updated. No need to reboot the server.

We have found that in order to more succesfully update the OCS agent, you should use teh presently installed OCS Agent's "Unist.exe" file to first remove the older version. Once completed (a reboot may be requested) you should be able to load teh new agent in.
