Directx 9 SCCM install error
I'm trying to install Directx 9 using SCCM, I have downloaded the latest version from Microsoft and created a package. But when the command runs from SCCM I get the following error.
22/05/2009 3:00:56 PM Script for Package:PC100016, Program: Install failed with exit code 4294967287
I have run the same dxsetup.exe /silent command from the SCCM server on the same machine manually and get no errors in the Directx.log and all the files are installed.
Has anyone come across this issue?

This may be related to the account permissions that you are installing the software with. I assume that as you are installing it via SCCM, that you installing the software using the local system account ?
What happens if you install as the user account? What happens if you manually install the software using the local system account?

Hi Michael,
I would like to know how to install using local account. I tried looking on google but could not find a method.
TIA

Whether or not the installing program runs in user or System context is controlled by an SCCM. it'll be in 'Software Distribution\Packages\[SCCM_Package_Name]\Programs'. Select the program's properties and click the 'Environment' tab. Obviously, the context option will only be available if you select the option 'Program can run:' with the option 'Only when user is logged in'.
Having said that, I don't believe the issue is to do with account permissions: Clearly, the setup stub thinks one of the files is corrupt. Have you tried a locally-run installation? If you can't easily get to the physical machine, does it install on one with an identical build? If THAT isn't an option, can you RDP to the box to run the install locally? Or via PSExec?
Lots of options open to you to debug what's going on...

VBScab Thanks for getting back to me.
Yes I have run the same installation on the same machine from the command line using the silent option and it works fine. What I haven't tried is using the local System account as Michaelnowell mentioned.
I will give that a go now.

In SCCM when you right click on your package "Program" what option do you have checked for this package Under the "Environment" tab.
Is it Run "with user's rights" or run "with Administrative rights" ? under Run Mode..
Just wondering..

To run something manually as the local system account, follow the following instructions.........
On your test machine ensure that all apps are closed. Open a command prompt and type in the following command.....
at xx:xx /interactive cmd.exe
where xx:xx represents a time on your machine (in 24 hr format). You're best bet is to set it one or two minutes in the future.
Close the command prompt, open Task Manager, end the process explorer.exe and then close Task Manager. Your screen should now just be sitting with just the background and nothing else.
A command prompt will appear at the time that you specified and this will be running as the local system account. You can load explorer from here and run anything that you want.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see something on the screen or via logging to help you out with your installation.
Good luck.

Did you end up getting this resolved?
I have the same issue. SCCM etc.
I was going to take this approach but late in the day.
1.) Create a new MSI project in WISE
2.) Put the file(s) in a directory in the files page (MUST be the DX executable)
3.) Go to the MSI Script tab and choose Execute Deferred
4.) Click on InstallFinalize
5.) Double click Execute Program from Installed Files
6.) Select the executable you wish to run
7.) Fill in the command line with any arguments
8.) Go to the properties tab and set In-Script Options to "Deferred execution - System Context"
9.) Set Processing to "Synchronous, ignore exit code"
10.) Click OK, Compile, and choose a file name for the MSI

From what I remember I had to change the SCCM Program to allow the user to interact with it. I still ran it silently with the command line above, but just changed that setting.
Hope that help

I would recommend that you NEVER set any CA to 'Ignore exit code', since I can't see the point in running a CA if you're not bothered about whether or not it succeeded.
Also, why not let Windows Update/WSUS take care of DirectX?

Just had a thought -
Windows 7 comes with DirectX 11
Windows Vista comes with DirectX 10
Windows XP SP2 included DirectX 9.0c
You must be running Windows 2000 to not already have it on your machines....

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your inputs
JMWebster im running in a OSD task sequence. Bombed out in the task sequence when I changed the user interaction settings.
Dunnpy. I need at least the Aug2009 version. Its a prereq for another piece of software.
VBscab. Need this app to run in a task sequence for OSD deployment. I need them built and shipped off ASAP.
The problem is I cant seem to find out what the exit code of -9 or 4294967287 means.

Doesn't seem to be available via WSUS/SCCM Updates [:(]. Only the security updates for directx...No latest Redist package...Can you confirm that it is actually is available via WSUS/SCCM downloads?
Thanks

Google for 'WSUS directx'. See the first hit.
This Google thing will probably catch on pretty soon.

Yeah thanks to Google i found this site [;)]
Created a wrapper in WPS and its all working now without the errors in the Direct X logs. WSUS doesn't have the version that I need.
Thanks for your help.

JM remembered correctly. The only thing I needed to change in SCCM was the "Allow users to interact with this program" checkbox under the package Environment tab. I created a simple SCCM package using the /silent switch just like JM, changed that one setting, and got 100% success.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
