Are you sure you have permissions setup correctly on the shares? Keep in
mind GP software assignments process under the machine account. Trying
giving explicit access to the "Domain Computers" group and see if that
helps.
Packages Assigned to Computers with Group Policy Are Not Installed

If that doesn't work you may be experiencing a race condition with Group
Policy trying to process before the network is up. There are a few
things you can try that may help out with that, but since Office is
installing okay, I could be wrong.
1. Configure the GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue setting (KB840669
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840669> )
2. Disable Media Sense for TCP/IP (KB326152
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326152> )
3. Disable Fast Logon Optimization on Windows XP clients (ie.
"Always wait for network at computer startup and logon"). (KB305293
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q305293/> )
If that doesn't help either, you should enable logging for both the
Application Management CSE <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246509/>
and Windows Installer <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852/en-us> .
That may give you some more clues as to what is going on.

Subject: [gptalk] Installing Applications Fails
Hi
We have a medium sized Active Directory that has been in place for about
3 yrs, apart from the deployment of the Office Suite against the "domain
policy" we have OU's that represent each group of machines and in turn
we have associated applications for each department trying to install
from these OU's. The office installation succeeds by the way.
However it has come to light that these other apps fail to be deployed
successfully, the LOG entry says that the "source installation file is
not available".
So we see that when we reboot a client workstation it says that it is
installing the required application, it all appears to go through ok,
the log in box finally appears, but yet the deployed application has not
been installed.
The source files are available at the share location, and all security
and rights are available to everyone as read only.
Any pointers as to why the apps are failing to deploy would be a huge
help, thanks in advance.
