ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_REJECTED

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_REJECTED means that the package is blocked by system policy. It is not a corrupt-package result and should not be bypassed by repeatedly relaunching the installer under another UI mode.

Identify the policy that rejected the package and whether it came from local security settings, enterprise management, or application-control rules. Resolve that policy decision through the approved deployment path rather than altering the MSI blindly.

What to check

  • Record the package identity, publisher, source, and policy context in which the block occurred.
  • Check organizational software-restriction, application-control, and deployment policies with the administrator responsible for the device.
  • Use an approved package or approved distribution path instead of changing the package to evade policy controls.
