GPO wont install...
Hi everyone,
I created a GPO as assigned and the .msi is in a share that the everyone and domain users group have full control, they also have full control on the security permissions on the folder and the same permissions on the gpo. I ran gpupdate on the client computer and tried many times and it still doesnt install. From the client cmputer I can directly access the share by \\servername\share\.msi
On the client computer I ran gpresult /H gpreort.html and I get an error that says:
"Software Installation failed due to the error listed below.
The installation source for this product is not available.
Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
I've deleted and recreated the share many times and tried different machines and still no go.
I receive this in the Windows application log on the Domain Controller where the GPO is installed.
1. Software Installation encountered an unexpected error while reading from the MSI file \\abc-123\company\Shared\A
2. Beginning a Windows Installer transaction: \\abc-123\company\Shared\A
3. Ending a Windows Installer transaction: \\abc-123\company\Shared\A
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi:
A few things to check.
First, are you specifying a share to the binary you want to install, or a local path?
Example: c:\directory\file.msi would be incorrect.
\\servershare\directory\fi
Second, have you checked your firewall settings?
Third, do all necessary accounts have access to the share where the msi file is found?

Authenticated users have "Co-owner" permissions on the share, domain computers security group has full control on the msi file.
the msi file is on a server share - \\servername\share\install
firewall is off. authenticated users, domain users, domain computers, everyone, have full control on the msi file, the security permissions on the folder and co-owner on the share.

In
\\ (IP address or FQDN of the share server)\share\.msi
First try with IP address.

First try with IP address.
Also to check if your .msi file is corrupt or not, you need to run the .msi manually on a machine and it install with issues you are good to go.
