Software Deployment

I've had a few problems with transform files and ZENworks as well (the transform not being applied).
I needed to delete the transform within the ZENworks application object, apply, and reassign the transform file.
Is it just the transform file that fails?
Have you ever created a verbose log during installation to check the differences?
Hope this helps
Cheers

I have tried deleting the transform from the ZEN object, renaming the tranform file and re-adding it to the object without success.

I am able to install the MSI with transform from a commandline (msiexec etc...) but from the ZEN object it only installs a fraction of the files/directories.

Have you tried copying the files locally, then running a command line msiexec from there?

I have had apps where the files needed to be on the local machine. I find the copy files command in Zen kind of clunky, so I just make two apps:

1. Runs a batch file to copy the entire directory to the local machine
2. Runs the msiexec in the command line to install the application.

I usually chain the apps, so if someone is manually installing the app the file copy comes first.

The nice thing about this is if you are deploying to a lot of people at once, you can stage the file copy (I don't remember how big Crystal Reports gets, or I could be blocking it out ;-)

msiexec commandline with the transform works fine, both with the files local and the files on a network resource.
It only fails (and even then it doesn't completely fail, and does not give an error) when it is being distributed via ZEN object.

Try a different interface level, I have seen (and this is not ZEN specific), that if you use a no interface level, whether it is pushed with ZEN or installed via command line, that the full set of sequences do not run..
