ERROR_INSTALL_REMOTE_PROHIBITED
ERROR_INSTALL_REMOTE_PROHIBITED means the Windows Installer package cannot be installed in the current Remote Desktop Connection context.
This differs from a package corruption or permission problem: the installation context itself is the blocker.
Determine whether the package explicitly disallows the current remote-session installation mode and use the deployment context supported by the vendor. Changing session state or policy should be done deliberately, not merely to bypass a package-authored restriction.
What to check
- Confirm that the installer is being run through Remote Desktop and not through an approved software-deployment mechanism.
- Use a local console or the organization-approved server deployment process where the package supports it.
- Collect a verbose MSI log before retrying so the blocked action and any secondary error are preserved.
