Bamboo Agent produces chcp or -107374 errors

Problem

Atlassian Bamboo Remote Agents running on Windows (before Bamboo v6.10) may produce a couple of errors:

• 'chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

• the Return Code -1073741515

If you encounter these symptoms you may need to implement the workaround described below. This Bamboo defect is documented here and the status of the Atlassian fix is described here.

Solution

Follow these steps to work around this Bamboo bug:

1. Configure Bamboo Remote Agent to run as an application user (via Windows Services)

2. Add the following 2 paths to the application user path (not the system path!)

   • %SystemRoot%\system32

   • <DataStage Client Installation Path>\ASBNode\apps\proxy\cpp\vc60\MT_dll\bin
