That's really strange. I'm not sure it will help but you might try firing up
verbose Software Installation Logging (as opposed to MSI logging). A 1603
error usually (from what I've seen) indicates a problem with the package,
but if its happening on all user assigned packages, that kind of kills that
theory.

This is a package I created.  And as far as I have tested, all packages
assigned to users result in the same error.

Are these packages you've built yourself. In other words, do any 3rd party
packages work for you publishing to users or is it just your own custom
packages?

With and without elevated.  Neither works.  And your right, machine policy
software installs seem to work better.

I've never had a lot of luck advertising programs to users when it requires
launching with elevated permissions. Is that what you're trying to do?

True, I am using it as a test since I have had other msi (Microsoft
packages) fail as well.

Why don't you just use a script instead of building an MSI to copy one file?

What application are you trying to install via advertisement?

 

1603 is a generic "fatal error" message for Windows Installer. Likely some
kind of permissions issue. I have seen this pushing certain packages with
SMS where the installer's internal script engine launches under the context
of the interactive user instead of the "launching user".  You could be
having a similar problem if you are trying to install via elevated
permissions.

 

I would turn on verbose Windows Installer logging to see if you can get some
more information.
