Hi all,

I read about a former bug that nixed your applications001 property generated by a database lookup when the wizard.hta asked the user what applications to install, but this was supposed to be fixed by MDT. The problem that I'm seeing is that the initial database look up finds applications to install, sets the applications001 property to the app, and then launchs the LTI wizard with a NEWCOMPUTER DeploymentType:
Property APPLICATIONS001 is now = {37f73690-0379-4831-a5c0-975d10acffb7}
Property APPLICATIONS002 is now = {e8dd8b92-377e-4423-b76e-5cf6626b5152}

All is good, this is what I want. But then I find further down in my log file:

Property Applications001 is now =

generated by the Wizard component, and just as expected the application doesn't install.

As per this blog: http://blogs.technet.com/msdeployment/archive/2007/12/15/bug-applications-are-not-selected-properly-when-set-through-customsettings-ini-or-through-the-database.aspx

I take a look at line 731 of wizard.hta and I have this:

ElseIf oEnvironment.Item(strName & "1") <> "" or oEnvironment.Item(strName & "001") <> "" then

So I should think that this should be taken care of. I've also taken out the or in place of another ElseIf with the same results. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have SKIPAPPLICATIONS=NO set in my CS.ini. When it is set to YES, things work just dandy.

thanks!
