weeyin Posted March 18, 2015 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Hi All, So I am running SCCM 2012 R2 and have a task sequence set up to deploy Windows 8.1 which is successfully and then as part of the task sequence I install a bunch of basic apps, I have one app "CutePDF Writer" that installs successfully but the task sequence bombs out and reports as failed but when the machine boots the OS and apps are all installed correctly. If I manually run the script to install the software it works fine on the desktop. I am using the latest version of the app and using "cutewriter.exe /verysilent /no3d" to install the package. Does anyone have ideas as to what could be the root cause? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 18, 2015 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Here is a copy of my execmgr file that shows the installation as successful... http://1drv.ms/1x0vZnm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted March 18, 2015 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Your application is exiting with exit code 259 which is unknown to SCCM, thus the failure in the TS. You could simply add a continue on error on that specific task of the sequence or you can dissect the application and monitor it to see why its returning the 259 code. Check Google on the error code 259 there are some fixes for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
