Joe,
my guess is that this package does not have the proper advertising tables, or
even worse advertising is disabled all together in the the MSI. Is it a home
grown package or something public? When you add a package the *.aas file is
created using the Windows Installer APIs and they rely on the information in
the Advertising sequence. Is this the only package that behaves like this?
Best,

Different MSI versions could definitely cause it. You might want to enable
verbose software deployment logging (see my gpolog.adm for this) and see what
messages are being thrown there.

I a receive the following error while trying to add a new policy for deploying
a software package. The DC is a 2K3 server. I am able to do this when logged
onto a Win2K DC without error.
Add Operation Failed. Unable to extract deployment information from the
package. Run validation on the package to ensure that the package is correct.
Would this be a result of different versions of Windows Installer?
Thanks
Joe
