SCCM 2012 R2 application creation issue- resulting files are > 7GB

Greetings,

 

Just signed up as a member here although I have been a lurker for awhile.

 

So we are stuck on a problem I can't seem to find any information on. We are new to System center and Config manager so not a lot of experience yet. We've had Config manager up for about a year now, but mainly for testing and getting accustomed to it. Initially I was working with it to create and deploy appv apps into or virtual environment(also very new) and now I want to utilize it for pushing apps to our computer Labs. Working with the Appv deployments was working fine and that work was done mostly about 8 months ago, now however trying to do msi's and exe's we are running into an issue..... once finished creating the application, the file size is reporting to be 7171.56 Mb. That seems consistent with everyone we try whether an exe or msi. The apps I have tested with are small, the latest being 7zip which ended up slightly larger than the others I have been testing with.

I can't seem to find logs related to the app creation process either.

I have a virtual test environment on my desktop and it works fine there.

I am hoping someone has run into this already as I haven't been able to find anything yet searching. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Do you have all the installers in the same folders? If you do, create separate folders per application and try again.

AAAHhhhh thank you Peter! That seems to be it... which now makes perfect sense what was going on. Thank you.

 

Any insight on creating applications for deployment with exe's? We have had hit or miss success with it and at best is inconsistent. Again in my test environment it works fine for the most part, but not in our production environment.

 

Thanks again... you saved what little hair I have left.
