Chris, That's the thing that is driving me nuts. My packages work just fine in a normal ConfigMGr software distribution of download /execute. I have created a simple tasksequence * Use Toolkit Package * Gather (gather data and process rules) * Install Software Packages (using multiple packages as defined by the database) * Install a single software package
When I watch the smsts.log, I see my application added to the install list R0300022:Install Notepad ++ , the running directory get set to the distribution point, and the installation times out. When the single software package runs, everything is fine. They are the same application. I have second package the installs just fine. Both packages are vbscripts. The "NotePad" app is called inside the script as xxx.exe. The second app is called as msiexec Steve From: Chris Nackers <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: 06/05/2013 06:12 PM Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] DynamicPackaging running EXE's Sent by: [email protected] The primary difference would be the run method. If it works in normal ConfigMGr software distribution it would work the same in the Task Sequence variable list. Only difference could be the run from DP versus download/execute like others have pointed out.

I have my standard SCCM Packages that work very well. I have a package that is "Install NotePad". In SCCM packages I start the install by calling "cscript.exe NotePad.vbs". In the vbs script I use objshell.run "NotepadInstaller.exe /S, 1, TRUE". Then copy some dll's to the notepad folder. This works well in MDT or SCCM., but not in DynamicPackaging. If I have a msi instead of an exe DynamicPackaging works. How can I call an exe inside of a vbs script to made this work?? Steve
