Cause:

There is a new config.ini entry for the php_cli_executable path that needs to be populated with a correct path. 

Environment:

Upgrade from any CA Software Asset Manager 4.x release to CA Software Asset Manager 4.2.1

Resolution:

1.  Edit the config.ini file, located at:  \Program Files (x86)\CA\SAM\app\includes\prod\st

2.  Modify the php_cli_executable entry with the path to the php.exe  

     For example:  php_cli_executable = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CA\\SAM\\env\\php\\php.exe\\"    (backslashes and double quotes are required)
