Ian is right Damon-

The install order is not necessarily how they appear in the UI but how they
appear within the "Class Store" in AD. If you fire up ADSIEdit or AD
Explorer (noted in another post), you will need to navigate into the GPO in
AD (under CN=<GPO GUID>,CN=Policies, CN=System). Within that container,
there will be a Machine and User sub-folder. Drill into the container based
on whether the package is per-user or per-computer. Under the correct
container, drill into the Class Store and then Packages container and within
that you will see multiple PackageRegistration objects corresponding to your
packages. In a previous discussion about this, I thought that the ordering
was controlled by the alphabetical ordering of the GUIDs on the
PackageRegistration objects (i.e. random) but I think we discovered that the
ASSM tool changes something else to change the ordering. You might search
the GPTalk archives because I know this came up before.

When you say 'Priority' do you mean 'Order'? - yes

That is, you want installations to be done in a sequence (presumbaly you
have dependencies to install before the main install)? -yes

 

Pls see the attached screenshot of the apps that I am trying to install. I
want to install them in the following order:

Msxml 6.0 Parser

RGB9RAST

Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1

Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1

Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5

 

It places the software in alphabetical order, so do I just need to rename
them to get them in the order that I want them installed?

 

Thanks for the response

If that's the case then, yes. Just add the packages in the order they should
be installed. Note that the editor will show them in reverse order i.e. with
the last package to be installed at the top.

 

There is a utility bouncing around, Assigned Software Sequence Manager
(ASSM), which you can use to force/re-order the sequence .

 

Regards,

Ian

Is it possible to set a priority on software installation when you have
multiple assigned software installations in one  (1) single GPO?

 

Thanks in advance
