    It says it should try to reinstall if it failed the first time, what are the rules that govorn this ( IE how long before it tries, how many times and so on).

    Within the "Software Distribution" component of SCCM, nearly everything you create is uniquely identified by clients. This is true of packages, advertisements, and any mandatory assignments. Selecting "Rerun if failed previous attempt" when setting up a mandatory advertisement means that clients will try running the program if all of the following are true:

    • The client has not already run this particular assignment.
    • Either the program has never been run before or it indicated failure last time it ran.

    I don't think modifying a program will cause clients to rerun it.

    Is there realy no "failure" handeling? IE if the package fails run the following program?

    SCCM relies on the returned status code of any programs that run. Many packages return status codes unrecognized by SCCM. Consider wrapping your executable in a batch or powershell script, and controlling success/failure reporting with the ERRORLEVEL environment variable.
