Task Sequence Won't Install Applications on Windows XP

Unanswered Task Sequence Won't Install Applications on Windows XP

    Hello,

    I'm using MDT 2012 to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 throughout my corporation. Windows 7 is deploying perfectly, without any issues, however, Windows XP never installs the applications specified in the task sequence, nor does it finish the task sequence. I'm using a captured image as my operating system, with a standard task sequence to deploy the OS and install two site specific applications. I am unsure what is causing this problem. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Have you looked at your logs to see what is going on?

    When you say it does not finish the task sequence, when does it fail?

    Are there any errors in the log files? Does it end with an error?

    By chance you didn't check for each application @ the application properties that it may only be deployed for x64 or windows 7 platforms?

    I monitored the deployment process from within the toolkit, it gets to step 52, and it stays there. No error messages or anything. I am very new to MDT, so what log should I be looking for?

    Dan,

    If it works under Windows 7 and not under Windows XP, please verify the following properties like I have stated in my reply before:

    Double click on the application in the MDT workbench that will not be installed under Windows XP, click the "Details" pane and verify the following option is not configured to run Windows 7 or x64-bit platforms only!!!

    Also verify, that you can silently install the relating application on a Windows XP platform, with an install command
