Failure when installing Application during deployment task sequence

[Lagamorph]

Hi all,

 

So this is kind of following on from a previous thread where I was having trouble with installing an MSI during a deployment task sequence, where the installation would just hang endlessly. Oddly this only occurred on physical servers, deploying to VMs worked fine and the installation script worked fine outside of SCCM with no boxes popping up.

I decided to try a different approach to resolve the issue and instead of a package I thought I'd make use of the new SCCM Applications to try and install the MSI, but I'm experiencing a new issue with this. Whenever I try to install the application I'm receiving an error,

Permissions on the requested may be configured incorrectly. Access is denied. (Error: 80070005; Source: Windows)

The smsts.log file shows the following,

To me this makes it appear that the Detection Method of the Application is failing.

Originally I left the detection method at the automatically created MSI method, but this failed. So I changed the Detection rule to simply detect the presence of a folder on the C:\ drive, however this is still failing.
