Well, go verify it. That is what the message means

 

I have OFTEN missed things and made mistakes. NEVER assume you did it “as you always do” if the logs indicate you were arguing with the ex and got distracted and forgot to change the drop down, at least go verify it!

Todd,

 

I always do that as a matter of habit.

Set the program to run if user is logged on or not. The program is set to run in user context, task sequences cannot doi that

I'm trying to do an upgrade of ESRI ArcGIS 9.3.  Unfortunately an ESRI upgrade consists of uninstalling the old versions before installing the new ones.  There's been a  few different msi's to install it, but they all eneded up having the same guid's, so to make a long story short, I'm going down the task sequence path to upgrade it.  The first three steps are a series of msiexec /x {GUID here} then I call an install software step.  The program I'm using works fine by itself, and I ran a duplicate that was set to allow users to interact and it runs fine with no prompts.  Any help would greatly appricated.

The program I'm calling is " msiexec.exe /qn ALLUSERS=1 /m MSIUPBRY /i "setup.msi" ESRI_LICENSE_HOST=<<somehost> SOFTWARE_CLASS=Viewer  ADDLOCAL=ALL "

The task sequence ui fails with error code 0x80008014 and I get the following error in my execmgr.log on the client

TS Step required to run in user context, targeted to user or requiring user input. Rejecting.
