Hi All,
Happy New Years! I’m trying to use Wise to Package Firefox for an unattended install to push out via Software Delivery in NS. I’m getting this strange error. I know the .msi I created works because I can launch it when logged on the XP workstation I’m targeting and install it from the cache but not via the Altiris Agent. Has anyone else seen this before?

Thanks,
Mike

This is described in Altiris KB27702

In the Software Delivery Solution:
Highlight the package.
Click (on the right) Programs.
Look for the command line.
Put "msiexec -i msipackagename.msi" for the command line.
Click on package, the click on Update Distribution Point.
Delete the old advertisement.
Create a new advertisement and associate the package with it.
