Here are the screen shots of the package and advertisement. SCCM TD Install.doc

I will go through the package and send screen shots as soon as I am able. Thanks

Thanks for your help. I have two Client / Server installs that I need to run from the HOST and not the DP. CT Summation 2.7 and Trial Director 6.2 Network version. The MSI have to run from the host as it pulls install and pathing information during the install. We have tried to run the install while copied over to the local system and from other shares, ETC.... and it always complains that it needs other code. We have ZENWORKS console one and have tried to use the snapshot to create a NAL object and that has never worked well for these two apps. We also use Wise Package Studio and that does not capture the install well either. So we have spent many hours trying to work around the issue and we have never been able to install the client unless the MSI is at home so to speak.

So as i understand it there is no possible way to build a package based on the MSI and have it run from the Host/Source server and not the DP? Man ZenWorks was able to run an MSI from pretty much anywhere.

I stand corrected, I built the package today but the advertisment had not had a chance to show up on the system. It did arrive and I just ran the SCCM package, it showed that it failed. I have attached the two log files for your review. Thanks again for your help. Ed execmgr.log CcmExec.log

Thanks for the response Maximus. Yes I just checked and the user I want to do the install as can path out to the share and run the install manually at this point. When I create the install package i am telling the Package to find the MSI on our share, i then build the advertisment but it never shows up on the client. I do not think I am creating the package correctly as I think I am missing something.

I need to build a SCCM application install package but the MSI install needs to run from its host server and not our distribution servers. I have built several install packages and they have been advertised out and they install just fine. However I have two client installs that have to run from the Host server and will not run from the distribution servers. The client install needs to run from the host server. We do not have the knowledge needed to create an install package to run from the host server. Our network admin said he set up the (Network Access Account), I checked the host server and it looks like the account has rights to the server now. When I create the package it's not clear to me what options and settings need to be made to successfully advertise the install package from the host server. Has anybody had to create an install like this? If so can someone walk me through the set up? It's worth a coke and a smile if you will. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
