These packages are actually all part of one piece of software and I had them all ranked as the same priority. I assumed that they would still run one after the other but they would all run before moving onto the next piece of software, I think they would all start, and one one of them finished, it would move on. I have since change them to have individual priority numbers and all seems to be working as expected. It makes sense now that I think it through. Thanks for the help, and I will ensure to attach logs next time. Mike
