Hi Mike,
I am using DTC for over half a year so far and I have very little problems in deploying software; or when I have, I can usually troubleshoot it myself.
To your problem:
What are you trying to deploy?
You say you used an msi package builder, I have never had the need for that, so I cannot complare exacly.
How far did you troubleshooting go so far, I mean, what is the point, when DTC stops working?
- Install via software template.
- Install new exe package with/withou parameters.
- Install new msi package with/without parameters.
- Does it only happen with you own built msi package (with /without parameter)?
If it fails at #1, using a pre-build software package without any changes of yourself, then the deployment generelly does not work.
You can always check the dcconfigaccess.log on the client to see, whether the configuration has been set to run.
Also it might make a difference if you save the installer files to a network share or upload it directly into the SW package.
I am curious about the root causes, so please give us some more information. :)
Kind regards
Stefan
