SCCM Application fails: Unmatched exit code (1636) is considered an execution failure.
I have created a new application and after deploying to a collection the clients fail to install with an exit code of 1636.
Here is a copy from AppEnforce.log:

I know I can deploy the msp using a package but am interested in using the app method so I can control deploying the updates to machines that only have adobe reader already installed (I guess I could make a collection for this to deploy a package to).. but i am interested to why this method is failing.
Many thanks.

1636 means that the WI engine couldn't load the MSP:
Command line: msiexec /p “AcroRdrDCUpd1701220093.msp” REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
I always, always, ALWAYS use explicit paths when dealing with files and folders. How? By adding the old favourite dodge, %~DP0, as a prefix to file/folder names.
