    Hi,

    I was trying to create a new package using Command Line Sequencer, but faced a problem.

    1. I created a batch file to silently install SnagIT application when double-clicked. This works fine.
    2. Used the following command at the command prompt to create package:

        K:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization Sequencer>sftsequencer /installpackage:"K:\Temp\Install.bat"
        /installpath:"Q:\snagit.823" /outputfile:"Q:\Snagit823_MNT\Snagit823_MNT.sprj" /packagename:"Snagit823_MNT"   

        The folders 'snagit.823' and 'Snagit823_MNT' get created in the Q: drive.
    3. The 'Install' tab appears in the task bar.
    4. The sequencer fails with the message: "Installer failed in execution" in the command prompt
    5. I tried the same after disabling Automatic Updates service also but same results show up.

    Any leads in this regard would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance,
    John

    Hello,

    Did you really make sure that AU service was not only disabled but stopped aswell?

    Yes, I had made sure that the service was stopped and then disabled.

    You may check the Sequencer Log, if it reports any issue (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc843707.aspx).
    You also may check Snagit's install log itself (it might not be enabled by default; see http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc817171.aspx and look for "voicewarmup" to enabled it)

    Also, SnagIt may try to install a driver (printer driver) that could cause sequencing to fail

    And, cmd-Sequencer does not support reboots during sequencing (not sure if snagit requires one)
