On a particular environment we're getting the following error message from our installer - I think when the installer is trying to configure IIS or .NET.:
Windows Package Manager
Note: PkgMgr.exe has been deprecated. Please update your scripts to use DISM.exe to install, uninstall, configure and update features and packages for Windows.
See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=195329 for more information.
Operation failed with 0x80070005
Access is denied.
I think the stuff about PkgMgr.exe being deprecated is probably not relevant to the issue. I've bolded the part that I think is telling us what's really going on: PkgMgr.exe is getting or causing an Access Denied error.
On this environment, we know that a security policy is in place that blocks all executables and scripts running under the C:\users\ path. Does Advanced Installer run PkgMgr.exe, or something else related, from a location inside a user profile? If so, is there a way we can change that location?
