Issue With Software Deployment Via GPO Hardeep Rakhra 13.07.2007 11:04:01 Hello, I have a issue with GPO Software Deployment at the moment (actually I've had this for a year but haven't needed to create any new software deployments in a while); Whenever i create a new Group Policy for deployment and add a package (MSI), an event is recorded in the event log that reads; Source: Software Installation Event ID: 119 "Software Installation encountered an unexpected error reading from the MSI file \\servername\path\somesoftware.msi. The error was not serious enough to justify halting the operation. The following error was encountered: The operation completed successfully." Now, when this happens it appears that the package was added to the GPO successfully, however when i apply this new policy, nothing happens. The policy fails with the error "The system cannot find the specified file" in the group policy results. This occurs no matter what MSI I'm trying to deploy. All the existing polices continue to work as expected. Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it? Hardeep.

I've seen this with packages that had different languages than the operating system I wanted to install them on. Check if the languages of the package and the target client operating system match. If not, try checking the following box: Properties of package - Deployment - Advanced - "Ignore language when deploying this package". cheers, Florian -- Microsoft MVP - Windows Server - Group Policy. eMail: prename [at] frickelsoft [dot] net. blog: http://www.frickelsoft.net/blog.
