Error 3221225794

When installing software using Software Delivery Solution I get more and more packages that sometimes run into return code 3221225794. The same package may install flawlessly on one client and with that return code on another.
I haven't found anything so far.
It looks as if NS doesn't even start the script (normally I use *.cmd files for installations).
Any ideas? I'm not that good at debugging ;-)
Thanks

Hello,
You might want to check the KB33303 as there could be time to time some issues distributing packages even the same one to various machines.
Thanks
Hey Dominique... That Article doesn't describe my problem. No VBS involved.
My installations are wrapped into a CMD-File.
I don't know if it applies to .cmd files, but I know with .bat files, I always listed the full path to cscript or wscript, much like msiexec to ensure stuff would run. This would mean, %windir%\system32\wscript.exe "xxx.cmd"

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I've been seeing this problem more lately too although this is the first time I've seen the 3221225794 error code.
After some digging around, I found this error code means that "this installation cannot proceed because the workstation is shutting down."
I've noticed that after applying one of the latest patches (I think R8), some of my software delivery tasks that are set to "only run when no user is logged in" start to fire off as soon as the user logs off or restarts. This usually results in a "completed asynchronously" message and more often than not, the package did not install (unless it was really quick). It seems Altiris may have fixed the issue with the agent taking a long time (5-15 min) to realize that a machine was logged off too well!
Anyone else seeing this? have a work-around or solution?
Would you like to reply?
