visual studio install

i created the package, program, and distribution point using the firefox tutorial and this :

this is what it gives me in the logs...( capture.jpg) there is nothing about it trying to contact the client..doesnt even fail or anything (i deploeyed firefox a few minutes earlier successfully with no problem

 

i am trying to push this onto a test box i have (hyper-V) that i just successfully installed the firefox app. on

 

I figure that the server is correctly configuired as it CAN push the firefox client itself...so the server is talking to the client successfully.

It must be that my distru/program/package is wrongly configuired?

Take a look at the client logs (execmgr.log)

i've been looking through that fine but can't make anything out of it, do you think you can take a look?

are you trying to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 professional ? if so it has several dependancies (like .net and so on, it's all listed in the help files) that need to be installed first, how have you created the package and are you using msi switches ?

I got the package to be pushed onto a client (using task sequencing)

the data was being downloaded and everything so i let it run...once i checked back into the client after a while the screen was gone with no messages and no VS2008 installed, is there a directory i can check to see if the package was actually downloaded locally or what?

I've been trying to understand the client logs but it just doesnt get through to my brain-is there any confirmation i can do?where did this go wrong?
