symptom

Error: "Unable to instantiate ScriptBroker module: 80040154" when installing the NSL Client

fix

Two other TID's talk about how to do a silent install of the NSL Client so that it doesn't prompt for any information (through a "setup.exe -s command), and then issuing the commands to register the relavant .DLLs afterwards. Those TID's are: 10096072 and 10095116.

That .DLL registration process can be snAppShot'd through ZENworks on a sample workstation with a user running with proper rights/access. The commands to specifically snAppShot after the silent NSL Client install are:

SLBROKER.EXE /REGSERVER
REGSVR32.EXE /S IESSO.DLL
REGSVR32.EXE /S SLVBA.DLL
RUNDLL32.EXE SLJAVA.DLL,INSTALL

That resulting AOT/AXT snAppShot data, can then be used to put in an application object that can be chained through ZENworks to the original NSL Client install. Then, the Client install can run silently, and then the desired registry keys can be brought down directly through ZENworks.

note

Running the actual Service and .DLL registration commands through the ZENworks workstation object, or local system account doesn't work successfully because the SLBROKER.EXE does some user and registry hive checking on registration, and will fail if the real user logged into the box isn't part of the local Administrators group. But, doing it through a snAppShot has the correct effect because all of the proper registry keys are created without any code checking by SLBROKER.EXE to verify the user's group memberships.
