How to Deploy Software packages that are EXE?

[xerxes2985]

Hey all,

I need some advice, tips, tricks, and help. Currently, I have no issues deploying Software Packages or Applications that are MSI based. However, there are a lot of software's out there that I want to install in a TS, as well as have it show up in Software Center. The software I am trying to create a package/application for are so far, Firefox and Dropbox. I assume however, once I get one package working, I can duplicate the process for the rest.

Thanks in advance,

Also, I am using SCCM 1511.

I hate to say this but there are no trick to this, just deployment.

Is there a guide to create a software package that is an EXE?

Here's the steps I've followed and when I try to install via software center it just says installing.... and doesn't ever install (been sitting on my test machine for 14 hours now).

You will need to review the logs as to why it is not installing. it should only take a few minutes to install. Are you sure that you program is setup correctly?

I am not at all sure if its setup correctly. That's the issue I believe I'm having. I can provide screen shots of how I set everything up in about an hour.

OK, so here is the error code I receive. However, the application is actually installing.

For detection method on my application I am checking the registry to see if the following key exists: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox

The application installs, then throws this error in the Software Center

The software change returned error code 0x87D00324(-2016410844).

I've attached the AppEnforce.log

AppEnforce.log

OK, so now I've got the check working and the software installs just fine. However, my uninstall code is not working. This is what I have for my uninstall line, and when I try to do it, I get the following code error.

(see the attached picture)

And here's the log,

It looks like a permissions error, but I am not sure?

 

Thanks

Any thoughts or ideas on how to resolve my issue?

ok, maybe I need more coffee but what is unclear with the error message?

I am only on my 2nd cup lol. Maybe I need more coffee. I see "Failed in accessing working directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\Firefox\uninstall, error 80070003." But what I don't see or know how to find is what account it is attempting to use to access that directory.
