Software Deployment failure - Access denied to deploy software

Problem

You get "Access is Denied" error during Software Installation.

Cause

You may encounter the "Access is Denied" error during Software Installation, when the user name specified the Run As option in deploying the software does not have the required privileges.

Resolution

The user name specified in the Run As option should have write permissions in the installation directory and or registry. The directory may vary depending on the software being installed.

For Vista and above Client Machine (in case UAC is enabled)

In case you have specified the default Administrator UserName and Password in the Run As option and if the above scenario is not eventful, then contact support with the log files. Else try to install the software manually without silent switches by logging in as the user as specified in the Run As option and check whether the application is getting executed successfully. In case the application does not get deployed, there is likely to be an issue with the package; contact the Software Vendor to resolve. And in case the manual deployment is successful, then contact support with the following details for our research team to analyze and provide you a suitable fix.

1. Log files from Desktop Central MSP Server.
2. Log files from Desktop Central Agent pertaining to the computer where installation has failed.
3. The Software Package that you were trying to install.
