ERROR_INDEX_ABSENT
ERROR_INDEX_ABSENT means that the qualifier requested for a qualified component is not present. Qualified components are published MSI components that callers can locate by component category and qualifier.
Query the qualified component registration and list the qualifiers actually published for the component category. Correct the requested qualifier or deployment metadata rather than fabricating an index that the installed product never registered.
What to check
- Verify the component category and qualifier passed to the lookup; a qualifier is not the same thing as a ProductCode.
- Confirm that the product expected to publish the qualified component is installed or advertised in the relevant context.
- For package authors, inspect the component publication data instead of adding a fallback to an unrelated component.
