Anything in the Config Manager logs?

All the log files are detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/hierarchy/log-files

 

They're best viewed with the CMTrace log viewer that is included with Config Manager.

You have "" where you should have "/"

 

I can't test if this will/would make the difference (I no longer have access to SCCM)

you haven't used a 32bit wim by mistake have you?

 

I think its 64bit didn't do it

Would check the logs on the machine and sccm

Have you redistributed the application once you updated the file?

It may not be relevant to the MSI installers, but we're using the exe version of VLC in a script, and my command line is below.

 

We had to add /L=1033 to specify language.

 

"vlc-3.0.11-win64.exe" /L=1033 /S

Suggestion: A thread where known working scripts for SCCM deployments for packages like VLC are posted to act as a library/reference.

This is my VLC installation script for SCCM - I cannot take credit for it as I found it somewhere and cannot remember where.
