What policy can we set to avoid error: MSI (c) (64:08) [18:58:59:083]: Rejecting product '{guid}': Non-assigned apps are disabled for non-admin users. Contact your system administrator. ?
Problem
On W2K3 SP1 machines, our package is failing with the following message while it is successful on W2K and WinXP.
MSI (c) (64:08) [18:58:59:083]: Rejecting product '{guid}': Non-assigned apps are disabled for non-admin users. Contact your system administrator.
What policy can we set to avoid error?
Background
DisableMsi. By default on Server machines the policy is treated as “1” when not present. (On client SKUs, it is treated as default = “0”). This means that only managed installs (per-machine or per-user managed) or allowed. Per-user managed is the “dance” done by Group Policy for user assignment and publishing.
Solution
Set DisableMsi to 0 to turn off this behavior.
