horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Hello I'm looking for some advice on a problem I am having when trying to deploy an application that has dependencies on other applications. Please bear with me while I try to explain the problem. I am trying to deploy an application called SAP, that has a dependency on 2 other applications - .net Framework and Visual C++ Redist. When the application is deployed, if it detects if one of the 2 other apps are missing and then it will automatically deploy those first. If I deploy SAP to a client that has both dependencies, the deployment works fine. If i deploy to a client that does not have .net installed the deployment fails with exit code 16389. After some research I discovered that i need to change the deployment setting to "run installation and uninstall program as 32-bit processes on 64-bit clients". This now seems to get further but is still failing. I'm deploying SAP and using notifications in Software Centre to monitor the deployment. The packages are downloaded successfully, it detects that .net framework isn't installed, but as soon as it tries to deploy .net it fails again with exit code 16389. However, if i then click "retry" within Software Centre the entire deployment works fine - .net and SAP installation! When I look through the appenforce.log file i can see both attempts at the deployment, the 1st with the error exit code, and the second one going through fine. The only differences that i can see between them in the log file are the session ID's: The 1st attempt session ID is 4294967295 The 2nd attempt session ID is 1 Any idea why this would be happening? I've attached some screenshots if that helps at all. Thanks in advance Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adurrant Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Hi there, Is there any issues when you try to install .net framework manually? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 If I run the following manually it works fine: NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT Seems to be only via SCCM deployment thats having a problem. I also get the same error if i deploy the application for .net only, and not as a dependency for SAP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adurrant Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 What windows OS are you attempting to deploy this to? It might be that you have to enable net framework 4.0 from within programs and features. Could use DISM for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Trying to deploy to a mixture of Windows 7 Enterprise and Pro, 95% are x86 The test VM's i'm using are Windows 7 Enterprise x86 with SP1 and all other latest updates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adurrant Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 by the looks of it, network 4.5.2 is required? what version of net framework is on these machines to begin with? Try taking a look at these: http://fearthemonkey.co.uk/889/ http://www.nowmicro.com/deploying-net-framework-4-5-2-configmgr-application/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks, these are actually the two sites I used to create the package in the first place. The machines i'm attempting to deploy to have no version of .net installed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Notice something else now... If i make the application available to the client, and then click install from software centre, the application deploys and installs ok If I make it required, it fails, and then only works if i click retry in software centre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adurrant Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Could be worth checking your detection methods, an application is only classed as successful, if after the install it's detected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horshamit Posted October 9, 2015 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Would it not be an issue there after the installation though? The application isn't even installing so it wouldn't have anything to detect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
