Unable to install attached MSI via custom action

[phainge]

Hi,

I have a custom action that is attempting to install an attached MSI, but it's failing to install and I get the following error in the log file:

"This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator."

I can launch the attached MSI manually and it installs fine. I'm installing it as Administrator on a clean standalone copy of Windows XP SP3 that is not part of a domain and that does not use group policy.

Any ideas?

I solved it! The MSI I was trying to install was an old one that I created myself some time ago using Visual Studio Installer - there must have been something wrong with it, because I simply recreated it using Advanced Installer and it now installs fine via the custom action.
