hi its an setup.exe and i can cretae setup.iss file. the result code after installing through sccm shows -3 and it does not install application at all. i tried the same application through script on 32 bit machine and it launches fine. - swap20june 9 years ago

So what have you done so far to diagnose the issue? Is it an MSI and have you tried logging the install? What is the application?
If you need urgent help, then at least take the time to provide some information.

See here for a list of errror codes: http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/installshield-error-codes-setup-log
The error seems to indicate that the answer file is missing information.
If the .iss file works for Windows 7 64bit , then I suspect that's the OS you created it on.
Try and create one on Windows 7 32bit and see if that works.

Did you actually try creating an answer file on Windows 7 32 bit and comparing it with the 64 bit answer file? Just because it works through script does not mean that the answer file is correct for all cases.

If you log the installation (/f2) does that shed any light on the cause of the error? - dunnpy 9 years ago

Are there any entries in the application event log which may indicate a causative factor?
The difference between installing via SCCM and via a manually executed script is that SCCM uses a system account without a user profile. Clearly there is something going wrong when the 32 bit install is run using a system account. So now is the time to dust off your XP virtual machine, use the AT scheduler to open a CMD windows running under the system account, and run a local copy of your installation script from the cmd window. That should show you any installation error messages as XP allows the system account to interact with the desktop.
