I understand that this is a common question that is asked, however, I do not seem to find any answers that are related to my specific issue. In the past I have been able to run advertisements for a number of applications which get pushed out without incident. However, I recently just created a new program (Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94) to be distributed, and I now currently get the failure with exit code 5 was returned. The strange thing is, I am still able to create and push out any other application without error.
I use the same credentials and distribution points for all the applications, but this one app, now returns the exit code 5. I can run the install on the client manually and I have no issues.
If there are any suggestions on where to go from here it would be appreciated.
