Error code 1619 in SMS when pushing msi pkg

[CChong]

I can't seem to push an Installshield MSI package using SMS. I get an error code 1619. Other packages can be pushed without any issues.

I have received this before. Check out Q107406

Would this hold true If I can install the msi package by running it manually?

[Pfeiffer]

Nope sound like something different...Hmmm.

It is rare but I have seen this kind of thing happen for a couple of reasons.

1. %TEMP% does not resolve from a command line.
2. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\ AppData and/or LocalAppData values gets corrupted
3. One of the properties in the MSI has a typo or cannot be resolved by the system.

FileMon or Regmon might be able to help you troubleshoot this a little easier.

Hope this helps, however I doubt I just made your day any easier. 😉

One thing that I noticed is that SMS is using the local system account to do the install - NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Most network deployment solutions use the SYSTEM account to perform installs. By doing so you can perform an install even in a locked down enviroment or deploy application prior to the user logging in (hotfix etc...).

Unless NT\System has modified rights (I don't think you modified them) then you problem sound like it lies elsewhere.
