Question : printmig.exe aborting early

Not sure where to look for this. I'm implementing a .bat file that calls a .vbs that uses printmig.exe -r to restore a cab file.

The first time through it worked fine on a freshly built pc. Then I used cleanspl.exe to clear the drivers and run additional tests. Since then, printmig.exe using the same command, will trigger but gets to a point where it stops the print spooler, presumably to install the cab file, and then it just drops.

Batch file call: IF NOT EXIST C:\windows\PrintersLoaded.txt C:\windows\system32\LoadPrinters.vbs

vbs attached

What is very odd is that I can go to start, run, and type c:\windows\system32\loadprinters.vbs and it runs perfectly.

Answer : printmig.exe aborting early

I solved this problem. Printmig.exe will leave a log file of it's actions in c:\windows\system32\spool\pm\pm.log

In the log, it said that it was unable to open the cab file that I was copying into the system32 dir as a preceeding step. For whatever reason, it couldn't open the file even though it would open find by hand. So I pointed printmig to get the cab file from a network share, and it performs perfectly now.
