- Solution
This issue occurs when the NT Authority/System user is being used to access the ThinApp .MSI package file from a network share. This account cannot be used to access a network share managed by a domain. The package fails to install because it cannot be access by the computer for installation.
To resolve this issue, create a network shared folder to store the .MSI package files and assign read access rights to the Domain Computers security group.
