Problem: When attempting to install an MSI using a worklet, getting error 1625
- You received Error Code 1625 when attempting to install an application and want to know what it means and how to get past it.
Resolution:
- According to Microsoft, error 1625 means: "This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator."
- Like most Windows Installer errors the problem is not with the delivery mechanism (Automox in this case) but with the environment. In this case, the installation has been blocked by Group or Local Policy. In order to install or deploy the application, the system policy must be modified.
- The policies that can cause this error can be either local policies or domain policies. The locations of the policies you will want to check are:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Installer
and
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Software Restriction Policies
