I just upgraded from FinalBuilder 4 to FinalBuilder 6 and am taking advantage of some of the new actions to further automate our build process.

I have two build machines.&nbsp;BuildMachine1&nbsp;I use to build the binaries from the various projects I am working on.&nbsp; That buildtree is then copied to BuildMachine2 where the installers are built and files&nbsp;are copied around.&nbsp; Both builds are run by FinalBuilder 6.

Once the buildtree has been copied to BuildMachine2 I would like FinalBuilder from BuildMachine1 to open and run the appropriate FinalBuilder Installer Build Project on BuildMachine2.&nbsp; I know this can be kicked off from a Command Line by running&nbsp;FinalBuilder6.exe and passing the following parameter:

/r "MyProject.fbp6"

So just after copying my buildtree from BuildMachine1 to BuildMachine2 my plan was to run the PsExec Action to kick off the FinalBuilder6.exe on BuildMachine2. I am using v1.94 of PsExec.

When I run the PsExec Action from BuildMachine1 it does not successfully execute FinalBuilder6.exe on BuildMachine2.

Following is the log:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PsExec could not start C:\Program Files\FinalBuilder 6\FinalBuilder6.exe on BuildMachine2:  
Return code : 87  
Action Failed.

&nbsp;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have verified that the file exists in the FinalBuilder 6 dir.&nbsp; Just for the heck of it I added the FinalBuilder 6 dir to the PATH and rebooted.&nbsp; This did not help.

I am attaching a zip file with screen shots of the PsExec Action.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks!

I have the same problem here (same error message).   
  
 It didn’t even work when I was trying to open cmd.exe on a remote PC.   
  
 Someone help please.
