This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have my first wave of Vista 64Bit machines. The few Vista32 machines I have are working ok. But the Vista64 machines will not execute my application install jobs. Things as common as Office 2007 (/adminfile <path to the MSP&gt do not run.



I am getting the error - "Incorrect function."



The wierd thing is that if I execute the same command interactively (logon as my service account, paste the command from my DS job into a command line prompt) it exeuctes and completes without issue!?



I suspect this has something todo with being 64bit. Anyone seen this or know what I'm missing?

Keep in mind that with 64bit the install directories will differ from 32bit. There will be a "Program Files" for 64bit and a "Program Files(x86)" for 32bit. That could be your problem.

Found it! Its a Vista specific item. Not related to 32 vs 64 bit.



You must Disable the 'User Access Controls'.



I found this page that explains the methdos of doing so:

Please note that if you use the GPO, you still have to reboot the machine once after it processes the GPO.
