Hi, we're trying to install Zoom via Self Service using a script that we found on here and it seems to be having trouble accessing the /tmp/ folder to run the installer. It seems to work fine on some computers, but on others, we get the following error:

Script result: Latest Version is: 
Zoom is not installed
Latest version of the URL is: https://zoom.us/client//ZoomInstallerIT.pkg
installer: Error - the package path specified was invalid: '/tmp/ZoomInstallerIT.pkg'.
2021-02-03 09:36:50.761 defaults[1820:17666] 
The domain/default pair of (/Applications/zoom.us.app/Contents/Info, CFBundleVersion) does not exist

Below is the full script. The installer definitely goes into the tmp folder just fine, but for some reason, the command to run the installer fails. I tried running the command manually and I get stuck on the same step

Stupid question, but why are you doing it this way? Id just use the PKG file from Zoom then use Patch Management to handle the updates. If youve got a mix of Apple chips and Intel, just use smart groups to separate them

cbrewer · ‎02-03-2021

@Dylan_YYC Because it requires uploading a new pkg every time Zoom releases an update - which is often.

@RLim945 You can compare your script to mine for ideas. I prefer mktemp for creating a temp directory.

I've also been experiencing this issue as well as issues with the actual pkg failing to install. Haven't really pinpointed the source of the issue but it doesn't appear to be consistent. It only happens on a handful of Macs and my thought is that they are disconnecting from our internal network during the time the script runs, causing this error. I could be wrong though.

Some applications just do not allow creating a package in Composer. Zoom supplies a package so there is no need to create one. Zoom is a fun one to manage. Download the package and rename with version number and whether it is Intel or M1
