I have a default domain controller policy for screen saver, passwords and etc which is working fine. Now recently under this policy itself added software 7zip.msi to be assigned to all user. But the software is not getting installed on any machine. I assigned the software by full UNC name and followed the exact procedure. The software distribution folder is shared to all read only but still this software not getting installed on any machine.

Assigning the software to all users in the domain is something I wouldn't do - as it gets installed on all machines users log on. Server, DCs, ...

Try to use the Computer Configuration part instead and assign that app to the machines.
