Applications not installing via TS

[LiamC]

Hi everyone,

First time poster here :-)

Just looking for some advice regarding an issue I am having trying to get applications installed in my task sequence. My TS installs Windows 7 perfectly well almost, it keep skipping my application installs and I just don't know why. The strange thing is if i deploy the applications to a test collection i created and try and install them via the software centre they install just fine.

When I create the applications in SCCM the content location is on a network share located on a different server, the network access accounts on my SCCM server have access to this share. Here is an example of the content location for one of my applications \\app-server\repo\Foxit_Reader\

The installation program is straight forward as well msiexec /i "FoxitReader801_enu_Setup.msi" /q

The next strange part is that I copied this exact same task sequence for my Windows 10 install, all i changed was the OS image of course and the applications installed fine through the task sequence.

Hope someone might be able to shed some light on this strange issue.

Thanks all

Search your SMSTS.LOG on the Win 7 client for one of the applications e.g. FoxitReader801 and that should show why it's skipping the installation. Oh and use CMTRACE.EXE to make the logs a lot more readable.
