ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT
ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT means that Windows Installer needs a source for the product but cannot access it. This can happen during repair, feature installation, patching, or configuration even when the product is already installed.
What to check
- Verify the source path or deployment location is still available to the account running the installation.
- Use the original package and product version required by the installer rather than a similarly named download.
- Collect the installer log to see which product or feature requested source resolution.
