Answered Application install via Task Sequence using GUID

    I am trying to find a way to install one application based on a TS variable that I have populated based on a selection via the deployment wizard.  The TS variable has the application GUID.  I already have other applications selected (using normal applications wizard pane) which populated the Application001,002, etc. TS variables and I can't overwrite any of these otherwise one of the applications will not get installed.  So what I am basically trying to accomplish is install the one application that I have the GUID for.  Hope this makes some sense.

    Thanks.

    Hi!

    I guess you have tested to add the application to you CS.ini like this? If not, try it.

    [Settings]
    Priority=Default
    Properties=CustomProp
    
    [Default]
    Applications001=%YourTsVariable%

    If that does not work you could try MandatoryApplications001 instead if you dont use that one, like this:

    [Settings]
    Priority=Default
    Properties=CustomProp
    
    [Default]
    MandatoryApplications001=%YourTsVariable%

    If you begin a new section then you must start over with 001 again so this should work aswell.

    [Settings]
    Priority=InstallAnApp, Default 
    Properties=CustomProp
    
    [Default]
    
    [InstallAnApp]
    Applications001=%YourTsVariable%

    Let me know how it went martin!

    Thanks for your reply.  I went with using the MandatoryApplications001 TS variable in my CS.ini.  This work great!
