ERROR_INSTALL_VOLUME_NOT_EMPTY

ERROR_INSTALL_VOLUME_NOT_EMPTY means the package deployment operation expected an empty target volume and found existing content instead.

Do not erase a volume merely to remove this code. First identify which deployment scenario selected the volume and whether it is actually intended to be prepared as a dedicated package target.

What to check

  • Use the deployment Activity ID to identify the target volume and operation that required an empty volume.
  • Confirm that the intended volume is not already used by another package deployment, application, or user data.
  • Use a correctly prepared target volume or adjust the deployment configuration through the supported management workflow.
