Installer error 2753

One of the user’s experiences an error which i am not able to replicate during testing. I have a CA to set permissions using cacls.exe. However one user generating a 2753 error on calcs.exe.
2753 The File '[2]' is not marked for installation.
Fixed the problem by changing the permissions manually. Just wanted to know what could trigger this error?

Thank you.

I would duplicate the problem and during the procedure have PROCMON running to capture the error, this way you will get a more accurate look at what is going on.

If you had used the tools available here on AppDeploy, in this case the 'MSI Error's look-up page http://itninja.com/question/help-with-msi-132779,you would see that the error is connected with the installation packge, not Windows, so any clean-up exercise would be pointless.

Got error 2753 the file 'swdnld.exe' is not marked for installation when trying to manually install shockwave player version 11.5.9. I renamed the file swdnld.exe to swdnld.exe.old then rebooted and reinstalled Shockwave.msi Player w/o issues.

Issue:: Error 2753 the file 'xxx.exe' is not marked for installation
Scenario:: Your machine has application X version 1.0 (x_1.0)already installed and you are trying to reinstall it or upgrading it with application x version 1.2(x_1.2)
Cause:: In above scenario it is possible that application x_1.2 is trying to overrite xxx.exe but cud not do so.
Investigation:: install and uninstall x_1.0 and check for xxx.exe getting removed or not.(In my case it was not getting removed.Hence I was receiving err 2753)
Solution:: Write a custom action to delete folder containing xxx.exe and make this as Immediate/Deffered custom action (Synchronous ignore exit) and put this custom action Just after Costinitialize Custom action. (NB.this is important)

I solved this error in above scenario.[8D]

[8|]Please note , scenario may differ .above error is linked to Custom action .In my case it was linked to Custom action related to XXX.exe.
