PENDING Permanent "success" error code (0x0 error code) for successfully installed application via SCCM

[barthut]

Hello All!

Why is an error displayed in the monitoring tab of SCCM during deployment even though the application is installed and the error has a "success" error code (0x0 error code). Those errors affect online machines as well and haven't change for all weeks. After some time few machine went to green compliant status, but dozens are still successfully "failed".

Despite of error code, apps are installed on machines and work fine. I have tried reset policies, reinstalling SCCM agents and all standard troubleshooting. There are no failed components or sites errors in SCCM.

Furthermore, SCCM packages and software updates like Cumulative, Offices etc. are being reported fine. There is problem with apps only, almost most of created ones.

Please see screenshot attached.

SCCM version 2309

Console version 5.2309.1113.1900

Site version 5.0.9122.1000

Are you deploying firefox using the enterprise MSI installer? https://www.prajwaldesai.com/deploy-firefox-using-sccm-msi-installer/

 

[barthut]

Thanks for you reply, we are using .msi installers but problem occurs for multiple applications like Adobe Reader, Google Chrome etc. All of them are created as on screenshots attached and main installation command is based on install.cmd file.

Hello,
This is how my program and detection rule are set and I have no issues.

I suspect this might be an issue relating to 2309 specifically, in our org we have around 20 pieces of software which have been packaged for a long time with no issues and out of roughly 4000 deployments over 1000 are in "error" despite showing "already compliant" or "success" in the error tab.

EDIT: I'm logging a call with Microsoft today for this, so if they provide any useful solutions, I'll share this here.

Hello JK_Scotland!

Any luck with MS call ?

Hello JK_Scotland!

Any luck with MS call ?

Typical MS, never turned up.. scheduled in for 20 minutes time so hopefully I'll have more to go on then.

This shows just how bad it is though, only 1 actual error out of 1350 showing as error

Microsoft have confirmed there is a known issue with v2309 affecting multiple customers, it's been logged with the development team for a hotfix to be applied however there is currently no time frame on it. They have verified it is only visual on the console, reports however show it accurately for each software.

Has this been fixed with the latest release?

Has this been fixed with the latest release?

I'll let you know next week, we've got upgrade planned for this weekend.

Olá, também estou com esse problema, porém para instalações via central de software meu aplicativo funciona bem em outros dispositivos, mas no meu atual ele não instala, causando o erro 0x0(0)

 

[JK_Scotland]

It looks like the majority of the issue is rectified by upgrading to 2403, there are still 1 or 2 instances of an error that is "0x0 success" but it is nowhere near the same as before.

Is the application deployment for users collection?
Did you enable "User Policy" on clients first (Client Settings)?

Hi, did anyone have solution for this? I'm just training atm and get this error.

software center - 5.00.9128.1007

sccm:
version 2403
console version 5.2403.1171.1000

Still happening in 2025...

SCCM environment:

Version 2409
Console: 5.2409.1181.1000
Site: 5.0.9132.1000

We're about to upgrade to 2503, and will see if that sorts it (doubtful), also although we are transitioning to Intune and modern managed Windows 11, we are seeing the same behaviours with Intune application deployments as well, 0x0 is becoming the bane of my life

Monitoring this to see if upgrading helped. 0x0 is sucking time away.

I had this issue recently on v2409. Here's what fixed it for me:

1 out of my 34 collection members was showing this error "0x0 (0): Success" for an application I deployed last week.
I fixed it by changing my detection rule from "Version Equals" to "Version Greater than or equal to".
Not sure why it was necessary - all devices had installed the same version, but this one device was acting up on the original setting.
Hope that helps!

This happens to me from time to time as well. If it’s a small number of devices, I’ll usually spot-check a few to make sure the app installed correctly. I’ve never seen a case where the app didn’t actually install—it’s always been a very low count, which I consider a success.

There are a few quick ways to verify that the app was installed properly, and when possible, I enable verbose logging for MSIs and EXEs to help with any troubleshooting. In my experience, this seems more like a reporting issue than an actual installation failure.
