Chris,
Thank you for replying. Since your message, I have added the Domain
Computers to both the share and folder permissions as well as the individual
computer accounts for the two PC's I am testing. Both still give the Cannot
find installation source message. Strangely enough, one of the PC's is
returning the following error right before it starts to run the managed
software install:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: EventSystem
Event Category: (52)
Event ID: 4356
Date: 9/27/2004
Time: 4:00:24 PM
User: N/A
Computer: REGSN75SH701
Description:
The COM+ Event System failed to create an instance of the subscriber
partition:{41E90F3E-56C1-4633-81C3-6E8BAC8BDD70}!new:{6295DF2D-35EE-11D1-8707-00C04FD93327}. CoGetObject returned HRESULT 8000401A.

Also, on the PC that doesn't give that error, it seems to be creating the
Microsoft Office Folder in the start menu with fake icons, but when you click
on one I get a message along the line of that action is not valid. I do have
the package set to advanced. Should that be changed to assigned? And would
you have any more ideas?

Thanks.
