ACS Install failure for All Users - Error line 579 path not found

Shell3 = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

// Create local install path
// Create the IBM directory if it does not exist
if (!fso.FolderExists(target1)) {
fso.CreateFolder(target1);
}

// Create the IBM directory if it does not exist
if (!fso.FolderExists(log_target)) {
fso.CreateFolder(log_target);
}


The problem that has been identified is with the creation of the log_target folder creation. This is the install log we create.

We are looking at the %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% environment variables.

You can view the %HOMEPATH% and %HOMEDRIVE% variable by opening a Windows Command Prompt and entering the following commands:

echo %HOMEDRIVE%
echo %HOMEPATH%

As an example:
%HOMEPATH% is a value of \users\joeuser
%HOMEDRIVE% is a value of Z:

The would result in the value of log_target being Z:\users\joeuser\IBM


In all cases we have seen, it's been an authority issue creating the path or an invalid value in one of the Windows variables.

There is also a development works article where a user reported this very issue. They resolved by modifying the deployment script. Support doesn't assist with modification of the scripts; however this may be a work around.

Here's the link to the complete article, the issue is described in the comments:

Changing the environmental variables would be the recommendation rather than modifying the scripts.
