SOLUTIONS
You can try one of the following methods:
- Right click on the package and Update Distribution Points
- For Application, you can right click on its deployment type and click on Update Content
- Recreate the software update package
- Do not create any package for the software updates and let client computers download from the internet
Generally, we do not distribute software updates packages to CMG DP.
