ERROR_INSTALL_REJECTED

ERROR_INSTALL_REJECTED indicates that Windows rejected the application because the package is not supported by the installed Windows version or deployment environment.

Compare the package requirements with the device version and edition before changing package files or installation policy.

What to check

  • Confirm the minimum Windows version and feature requirements declared by the package publisher.
  • Verify that the package is intended for the Windows edition and architecture on the affected device.
  • For an internally deployed package, test the same build on a supported baseline device and preserve the deployment Activity ID.
