Deerstalker Posted July 10, 2012 Report post Posted July 10, 2012 I have a script that installs just fine manually, or if I set it up as an available application. But if I make it a required application, the client tries to install it (status in Software Center changes to "Installing"), and then fails after it times out. There are no error messages in the Event Viewer, and the only errors I've found in any SCCM logs just state that the application timed out. It seems to me that the script is waiting for a response, but I can't see how, since it works when it is an available application. I'm at a loss for how to troubleshoot. Any suggestions?

BB24 Posted July 10, 2012 Report post Posted July 10, 2012 Yes - probably the install has a "hidden window" waiting for an interactive response. Did you try copying the package locally and then manually running the install script to see what happens as it installs?

Deerstalker Posted July 11, 2012 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks for the response, yes, I've run it manually: I have a script that installs just fine manually Also note that it also installs without a hitch when made available. It only hangs when the deployment is made required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennettjd Posted July 11, 2012 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 The user that you have setup in sccm 2012 an administrator on the client? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB24 Posted July 11, 2012 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 When it is installing (as a required application) check the task manager processes and see if the ccmexec.exe is running. If its not, then we know more if it is a client/server/package issue. Also, is your advertisement for the required application setup to "run program from distribution point" or "download content from distribution point and run locally?" (Advertisement - Properties - Distribution Point tab) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerstalker Posted July 12, 2012 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 The user that you have setup in sccm 2012 an administrator on the client? Not sure what you mean: I am the logged in user on the client, and I am an administrator. But that shouldn't matter: I thought SCCM apps install using the SYSTEM user. When it is installing (as a required application) check the task manager processes and see if the ccmexec.exe is running. If its not, then we know more if it is a client/server/package issue. Also, is your advertisement for the required application setup to "run program from distribution point" or "download content from distribution point and run locally?" (Advertisement - Properties - Distribution Point tab) Yep, ccmexec.exe is running. As far as I can tell, SCCM 2012 does not give you the option of where to run from. What you're descibing is where it was in 2007, and I can't find a similar option in 2012. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB24 Posted July 12, 2012 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Yep, ccmexec.exe is running. Is it showing any CPU cycles running or is it idle? I.e. it normally shows usage when the local agent is installing As far as I can tell, SCCM 2012 does not give you the option of where to run from. What you're descibing is where it was in 2007, and I can't find a similar option in 2012. My bad. Try here: Deployment Type properties, Content tab, Deployment options “Download content from distribution point and run locally”. I'm guessing you've already looked at this technet article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11447.troubleshooting-application-deployment-in-sccm-2012.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted July 17, 2012 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 I have the exact same problem. My scripts and install/uninstalls work great on XP but 64bit windows 7 fails every time I plug it into SCCM. I have read every damn article and tried every god damn setting. Basically at this point I am like fuck microsoft and going to push my uninstall by group policy since SCCM is broken.
