You can do a few things to fix this.
Change the source path in the registry to a different location
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\<product code>\SourceList\Net
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\<product code>\SourceList\Net
Give all users rights to "infosys's" desktop
Put the file in a different location like a common share and have the users use the browse button to navigate to that location then say OK
There are 2 things:
1) You cannot access the source location of the source. Keep it on a server which is accessible to all users.
2) There is already a registry key at HKCR\Installer\Products\{ProductCode}\ for this application which is causing this issue. Search for this key with the application name and delete it.

Meanwhile, as far as I can see in the screenshot you provided, you are doing the testing in a very wrong way. You put the installer in the desktop. Your non-admin user don't access on it for sure.
Try running the installs by having all your sources to a location where every users on the machines can see the source like C:\My Apps and not on user profiles!
There are no external cab files.. we tried installing the application from the location "C:\Apps" still the same...
Also in our msi there were to Custom Actions which our client has asked us to remove:
Custom Action1
Name - WiseModifySourceList
Type - 3073
Source - Callwiseapi
Target - ModifySourceList
Custom Action 2
Name - WiseModifySourceListInit
Type - 51
Source - WiseModifySourceList
Target - \\%CURRENT_STATION%\cid$\site_unique_images\Haali_Media_Splitter\1.8.122.18;\\%CURRENT_STATION%\cid$\images\Haali_Media_Splitter\1.8.122.18;[SourceDir]
Could it be because of these settings something is corrupting the installer ?
Is there any other way to suppress this ? - shradha_jain02 11 years ago
