I thought of changing the order, but i was looking for a better solution.
Inserting a delay, and changing the order should do the do the trick.
Inserting a delay, is that something you did in your MSI files?
A colleague is responsable for creating the MSI files.
Thanx Eric

I have experiance the same result as you Steve, My work around was to either.
package the app to insert a delay for the installation time and/or change the
order so the application that can run at the same time without problem run.
The reason I had this is went the setup call one or more msi which I could
not control.
Hope this help

I had tested this i think a year ago. The apps do get installed i think in
the order you specify, but the problems was that when the first app get
installed, the second app doesn't wait for the first app to finish, and then
the tird app start, but half the install the next install begins etc..
But i wil test this again when i have the time.
Thanx

SMS 2003 SP3afaik, state restore installs the apps in order.
I have a Application chain of 30 apps. When we re-image a desktop, this
desktop is automatically placed in a “desktop” OU in Active directory.
In SMS we created a collection based on this OU, and placed the Application
Chain advertisement on this collection. This collection is refreshed every
half hour.
Have been using this method over a year, and it works pretty good.
But the helpdesk don’t want to wait a half hour anymore, so I’m looking for
a option to deploy the chain immediately after the image deployment.
I tried the SWD program, but the OSD installation crashed.
Do I have to add a OSD environment variable somewhere??
Are do i have to use the State Restore option?
Another reason i use a chain, is because some apllications needs to be
installed first before other apps are installed. I don't know if the State
Restore option is going to install the apps in the order i want, and if it
will install one app at the time.
Thanx
