Problem with the approval application installation not able to work

I was following the guide of https://www.serveracademy.com/courses/installing-and-configuring-system-center-configuration-manager-sccm/creating-an-application-that-requires-approval/

when I attempt to install an approve software I got this error message.

Hi @andrewjames21c

Check the following link. The error is not critical just that there’s no software it seems:

Here is the file error files for more details.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ahonfiphi5s7b6w12dgr8/h?dl=0&rlkey=0mgfh0xjhhzvqxz3zvs3mc9r8


Got that error even following the instruction of ConfigMgr Redistribute Content To Distribution Point | SCCM | Package | Best Way | Configuration Manager HTMD Blog

Hey @robert.hill

Can you help me check the logs of these application deployments.

Thanks

Hello Ricardo,
I took a look at those log files and to get information from them you would need the CI unique ID, so that you would be able to search the logs to find application specific information. You can get the ID from Configuration manager, Software library, Overview, Application management , applications, misc, CI Unique ID
Normally I try to get the student aware that there are log files that they can checkout themselves for troubleshooting purposes. So that they can understand why their application deployment failed. Basically I normally give them the log file names and location of the files, they should be able to read through the log files and determine where the point of failure is.
Anyway here are the log files related to Application Deployment. The default location for the following log files are c:\windows\ccm\logs - On the Client computer or VM
The student can use the Configuration Manager Trace Log tool to access the logs
Here is a link for using the CMTrace tool https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/about-log-files#cmtrace

PolicyAgent.log
AppEnforce.log
AppDiscovery.log
AppIntentEval.log
CAS.log
ContentTransferManager.log
DatatransferService.log

I hope this helps,
Thanks,
Robert

Hello Andrew,
I was wondering, it looks like from the logs that when you tried to deploy the software that NPP could not be found. I was wondering, the video is using version 7.8.6. When you created your deployment did you specify 8.4.7 for your “installation program” You can test your .exe from a command prompt to be sure the application installs.
Thanks,
Robert
