SCCM Application install package question???

[EPuariea]

I need to build a SCCM application install package but the MSI install needs to run from its host server and not our distribution servers.

 

I have built several install packages and they have been advertised out and they install just fine. However I have two client installs that have to run from the Host server and will not run from the distribution servers. The client install needs to run from the host server. We do not have the knowledge needed to create an install package to run from the host server.

 

Our network admin said he set up the (Network Access Account), I checked the host server and it looks like the account has rights to the server now. When I create the package it's not clear to me what options and settings need to be made to successfully advertise the install package from the host server.

 

Has anybody had to create an install like this? If so can someone walk me through the set up?

 

It's worth a coke and a smile if you will.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

SCCM can also run from pretty much anywhere, I just don't get why it has to run from the 'source server'.

 

Also, maybe you can say what your package looks like (program, commandline, location, etc.) and what it has to do.

 

 

I will go through the package and send screen shots as soon as I am able.

 

Thanks

Here are the screen shots of the package and advertisement.

Have you thought about using a Task Sequence to install the software? You could have it connect to a share on the Host server, and then simply use the next step in the task sequence to fire off the installation via the newly mapped drive. Then once it installs (or fails), have ConfigMgr restart the machine to remove the connection if need be...
