Assign Software GPO



I'm trying to Publish an MSI program to my Domain's Computer OU. This
is a Windows 2000 domain with XP clients. The specific GPO is set up
under the Computer Configuration/Software Settings and the installation

file is located on a networked file server (\\10.10.10.3\installs\MS
Defender\WindowsDefender.msi)

However the RSoP shows that software installation failed with the below

message.

<Error message>

Software Installation failed due to the error listed below.
The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that

the source exists and that you can access it.

Additional Information:
The reinstall of application Windows Defender from policy Windows
Defender failed. The error was : The installation source for this
product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you
can access it.

Failed to apply changes to software installation settings. Software
changes could not be applied. A previous log entry with details should

exist. The error was : The installation source for this product is not

available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
</Error message>

First, did I set up this GPO correctly (using Computer config and not
User config)?

And second, why are client machines unable to get to this install?
