ERROR_UNKNOWN_PRODUCT

ERROR_UNKNOWN_PRODUCT means that an MSI API call or command was made for a ProductCode that is not registered as installed in the relevant installation context. It can occur when an uninstall or maintenance command uses the wrong product identity.

What to check

  • Verify the ProductCode belongs to the exact product and version that is present on the device.
  • Check per-user versus per-machine installation context when the command is run by a management agent or another account.
  • Do not substitute a display name for a ProductCode in an MSI command line.
