I am trying to package up oracle 10.2.0.3 and push it through SCCM. I am having issues for just the setup.exe to just start the install on a windows 7 machine when pushed through SCCM. It is being cached to the machine and if I run the setup.exe in the cache folder it does work, but it doesn't work for some reason when I run it from advertised programs. Any ideas? Eventually I will be packaging this to 10.2.0.5 Would just creating an msi work for oracle? I created a response file and I can get everything to work fine when I type things in by hand in the start run. Same thing I put in the command line in SCCM and still nothing happens.

You need to check the exemgr.log file on the client. Check out this post, it's an SMS deployment but will most likely be the same in ConfigMgr. http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=40753&mpage=1&key=&#40753Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

I tried that, but didn't work. when I run a vbs script, the setup.exe *32 kicks off and sits in the task manager at 50%.

I have a vb script, it works fine when I run it manually, but through SCCM, it just kicks the setup.exe *32 off and sits at 50%...any ideas to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

That depends on the contents of the script. ConfigMgr just kicks off the command line. Keep in mind that it's most likely running in system context.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Here is my script...see anything wrong?
