I found this behavior happens when users install from a thumb drive and not network drive. &nbsp;When installed from network drive and MSI REMAINS available on network drive this error doesn't occur.

I have a working installer for a .Net 4 program created in VS 2010. &nbsp;It gives the installer a choice to install to everyone like normal. &nbsp;(InstallAllUsers is defaulted to true). &nbsp;When installed we have been sure to leave this checked. &nbsp;The program installs into the standard folder c:\ProgramFiles\CompanyNam<wbr />e\Applicat<wbr />ion Name. &nbsp;When a different profile logs on and tries to run the program it gives an error:<br />
<br />
Please wait while Windows configures PROGRAM NAME<br />
<br />
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disc that is not available.<br />
<br />
Do I need to copy and KEEP the MSI file used to originally install the program on the local drive, in the application folder lets say? &nbsp;It would be nice to just have it on a network drive and install from there.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Installer for all users leaves error when user tries to load program first time

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
