RE: Assigning client applications - shortcut fails

Hello Ben,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

Thanks for Cris's input!

>From your description, I understand that when you attempt to install an
application using an MSI package published using the SBS Set Up Client
Application Wizard, you receive the following error:

Extended Application Launcher
The command "<path to msi>" failed to run. Please verify that the server
name, path, and executable name are valid.

If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.

To resolve this issue you must edit the Client Application Settings:

1. Open Server Management.

2. Select Client Computers in treeview.

3. Click Set Up Client Applications.

4. Click next on the Set Up Client Applications Wizard Welcome Screen.

5. Select the broken Application and click the Edit Button.

6. In the "Location of setup executalbe for this application" text box
append the entry with cmd /C, for example:
old setting = "\\ServerName\ClientApps\App.msi"
new setting = cmd /C \\ServerName\ClientApps\App.msi

7. Click ok and yes to the warning messages.

8. Click next and finish.

9. Delete the broken shortcut from the client computers and republish the
application to the users.

If the steps above do not work, please help to collect following
information for further research:

a) Run "eventvwr" (without quotation marks) on the server and the
problematic client workstation, is there any error, if yes, double click
it, click the Copy button and paste the full content to the Newsgroup.

b) The client workstation IP address is pointing to the server's internal
IP for DNS. Please see:

On workstation:
IP: Assigned by DHCP on SBS
Gateway: SBS internal NIC IP
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry

Hope this information helps. If anything is unclear, please let me know. I
am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
