SCCM2012 - OSD deployment using applications with multiple deployment types

$

hi,

I'm trying to accomplish a reuse of an application for both OSD purpose and for Software Center where user might need to install the software themselves, but running into some problems with how to set up the different deployment types

The application is created and can be run completely silent but requires certain processes to be closed first. For the Deployment type intended for the SC we wrap the installer with a small script that pops up a msgbox to the user and asks them to close the required apps before proceeding. Configured as "whether user is logged on", and allow user interaction. This works very well

I would now like to add a deployment type 2 intended for OSD purposes that would install as system, with the requirement that no user is logged on.

I can trigger the install by setting a base variable for this application and then installing it as part of a multiple application install step.

Here comes the problem. It appears it picks deployment type 1 that's is set to allow user interaction and then fails the evaluation. if I change this deployment to only install if a user is logged on, it still picks it and then "waits for user to log on" before it becomes enforced.

no matter what Ive tried (different global conditions to require no tsmanager.exe active, or no user logged on) it keeps on picking deployment type 1.

if I change priority on the two deployment types I have everything starts to work for OSD, but then it wont show in SC anymore it just disappears out of SC completely.

so im looking for recommendations how to reuse an application between OSD context and SC where SC might require user interaction?
