Distributing an extremely simple MSI file via GPO's... made with Wininstall LE 2003. This is a Win2K AD, and the contents of the MSI are merely a UNC path shortcut to a share on a server and nothing else. I'm using this as a test to see if I can get package distribution working.
So far things seem to be OK except that I can't get my packages to install properly when assigned, but install just fine when published. The Event Log shows that the packages install correctly either way, however the visible change of a new shortcut actually being on the desktop does not happen unless you go through the process of publishing and then installing via Add/Remove Programs. I've tried this with a couple different created MSI's and I get the same result each time; publishing and installing "manually" work great, but it seems to be missing things when installed via assignment. Any ideas? Places to look for problems? I've got Mark Minasi's book(s) here in front of me and have followed those instructions to the letter.
