​package

microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab

.PS1

$currentLocation = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path;

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName NetFx3 -Source $currentLocation -LimitAccess -All

Standby null (cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-ac 0)

Install application... in this case Visual C++

etc etc....

problem:

when the task sequence reaches the install application step the task sequence times out, stops at the first Visual C++ step, but the same problem also happens with any other software. (acrobat, notepad++, etc, etc... )if I delete the unattended.xml file from the task sequence then the task sequence continues to the end without problems.

same task sequence with Windows 10 20H2 or Windows 11 23H2 work without problem

anyone with the same problem?

any help is appreciated

grazie !!!

    Hi,

    when the task sequence reaches the install application step the task sequence times out, stops at the first Visual C++ step

    I recommend you try to add a restart step before install application (04.03).

    In order to address this issue in depth, we need to check the task sequence log file smsts.log.
