Hi guys, so I've been using a task sequence that lets the user pick and install applications from a list.
For halv a year now without any issues.

a few days ago I upgraded the server from SP1 to R2, I thought that everything was now set as it was suppose to..
but apperently its not. Cause my task sequence aborts.
Right after installing drivers, it restarts then goes to windows.. it leaves this folder behind

C:\_SMSTasksequence  - filled with stuff in it. furthermore no applications are installed.
I googled the folder cause I had never seen it before and its clear this is still here because the task sequence aborts unexpectedly

As the task sequence is completely identical to the one before I upgraded to R2, I don't understand whats wrong.

Hoping you can help me decode the log so I can start looking at what issues there might be, here is the
SMSTLOG, site wouldn't take its size so had to move it to pastebin

SMSTS Log

I see it at one point writes '<![LOG[BaseVar = '', ContinueOnError='']LOG]!><time="16:57:54.380-120" date="05-27-2014" component="InstallSoftware" context="" type="1" thread="1908" file="main.cpp:319">'

Should BaseVar='COALESCEDAPPS' ?

This is from my OSDSetupWizard in the same folder -->

14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'TsApplicationBaseVariable'. Value = 'COALESCEDAPPS'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'TsWindowsAppPackageAppBaseVariable'. Value = 'WINDOWSAPPPACKAGEAPPS'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'TsAppInstall'. Value = 'AppInstall'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'AppInstall001'. Value = 'ScopeId_08EFDC2F-7EF8-49E7-9EB6-92C27C1C9B61/Application_55e0bf56-08c2-407e-9a0a-614128afcb8e:!Mapdrev'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'COALESCEDAPPS001'. Value = 'Mapdrev'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'COALESCEDAPPS002'. Value = 'Acrobat Reader'
14:26:43.311 05-27-2014	2	TSVariableRepository	Saved variable 'COALESCEDAPPS003'. Value = 'Exformatics Office Extension 7.0.140'

as you can see, I have at least 3 apps, set to the right variable COALESCEDAPPS.
So they should be installed?...

and just to make it even more weird.. this is from my appDiscovery

Whats really weird about these 2 applications is, that they aren't deployed to the variable..
They are however deployed to the collection the device is placed in.


I need a place to start... cause the logs dont help me much at this point.

The variable has a three digit number at the end. This should be converted to a two digit number for usage in ConfigMgr.

hi Peter and thx for the answer.

are you refering to main.cpp:319 ?  I see you are right it does have three digits there.
First I wanna say I'm sure you are right its somewhere here the problem lies. My UDI Wizard that I use to Display applications on a list, got updated aswell and I had to redo settings.

I wanna point out again
This task sequence I'm about to show did work prior to the Update from SP1 to R2..

Convert List to two digits:

I already have a step thats suppose to convert to, two digit numbers in my TaskSequence. Anyways here is my step, do you see any problems with that?
Install Application

And here is the step where I set a variable for installing applications, in UDI Wizard I use the same variable, to display and select from a list of 15-17 apps.



UDI Wizard

And here to show you what COALSCEDAPPS is pointing too.
(This I had to rename, it had 'APPLICATIONS' set as variable after the update)
I did however try both without luck

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
