Software Deployment

- Are you using the Enterprise version?
- Does the MSI you have install silently from the command line?
- Are you applying a transform to the MSI?

have you got the MSI in a shared directory, with permissions everyone can at least read from, and did you browse for the MSI to the shared directory and not a local path?

@ Squeakstar - Yes, yes, yes


Update for both of you. I think it has to do with the particular server I was trying to deploy the apps on. I have three different sites I am working on, one with Server 2008, SBS 2003 and SBS 2008. The server I was trying this on is Server 2008 and I remember i updated the ADMX files to Server 2008 R2 admx files so I could try Group Preferences with a new Windows 7 machine. Seeming how UAC was blocking my login scripts from really working. The Group Preferences are working on the Windows 7 machine but it is giving me error messages for any GPO i try to deploy an app with.

The Error is

Administrative Templates

Encountered an error while parsing

Expected one of the following possible element(s), <text>, <decimalTextBox>,
<textBox>, <checkBox>, <comboBox>, <dropdownList>, <listBox>,
but found <multiTextBox> instead.

after i click OK i get another error

Encountered an error while parsing.

I tried the exact same steps above on a different server running SBS 2008 and it deployed Chrome, Adobe Reader 10.1.0, Java 6 U 26, Adobe Flash Active X/ Plugin 10.3 flawlessly. I ran a batch file to restart all machines and they all restarted and updated fine. I have not tried this on the SBS 2003 server yet tho.
