I created a new package. The Program EXE line is this: msiexec.exe /p Communicator.msp /qn L*v c:\windows\build\OC2007R2.log REBOOT=R In the Status Messages here is my Message ID 10005 Program started for advertisement "BOS2051B" ("BOS0019C" - "Office Communicator 2007 R2"). Command line: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /p Communicator.msp /qn L*v c:\windows\build\OC2007R2.log REBOOT=R Working directory: \\HQP-SM-APP01\SMSPKGD$\BOS0019C\ User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Yet, it never runs on the target machine. This .msp takes about 1 min to run tops. I've waited over 1 hour and it never runs. Why? Thanks. mqh7

Nothing here jumps out.....no errors. mqh7

there must be something in the c:\windows\build\OC2007R2.log or the exemgr.logKent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

The c:\windows\build\OC2007R2.log never gets created.
