Arnold Exit code 2 command line install

HI

we are having an issue with arnold mtoa not found (even tho the files are there). if i do a manual install of MtoA-3.0.0.1-2017.exe it completes and resolves the problem. the issue is we have classrooms with 30+ machines having this issue, when I try to deploy the .exe from the command line I'm getting an exit code 2 and the install doesn't do anything? Ideally we want to automate this fix.

this is the command I'm running in powershell

$install = Start-Process "MtoA-3.0.0.1-2017.exe" -ArgumentList "/S" -Wait -Verb runAs -PassThru $install.ExitCode

It's probably a missing dependency, or a problem with the environment (eg PATH).

Why not compare a manual install with a powershell install? Just specify different output folders.

Double check the environment variables in Maya.

Use Process Monitor to check out what's happening.
