question about driver installation in MSI (difxapp)

I'm trying to use the MS merge module in my MSI to install some drivers on the client computer.
I't works perfect when I login on the computer as Administrator, but this package will be kicked off from a SMS server. So the package will be installed as a System User.
I've tested the same package (driver package that I made with difxapp msm) under a system user account. The Following error comes up:

This is my first log file... this is where the install quits. (Installed under System User)

Does anyone know this problem? And can it be fixed in some sort of way?

Have you verified that the "System User" is the actual System account.
Verify that the System account has access to the temp folder (C:\WINDOWS\temp).
From SMS; test to copy the MSI locally on the client and run it from there.

I've installed drivers using the DIFxApp.msm before using SMS and can't say I've seen that issue before.
Could try using dpinst.exe instead and see if that helps.

I don't know HOW I missed this yesterday. Sorry about that...

Firstly, a request. Could you use the 'code' tag when posting code or log extracts? Posting them as-is makes threads much harder to read.

Next, error 02 almost always means 'File not found'. Equally almost always, when I have encountered this error, copying the MSI locally and running it from there makes it go away. I suspect the reason is that the System account has no network access.

I've had this issue for a long time. It appears to be a bug in the DifXapp framework. If the user account under which the MSI is invoked has its profile loaded then all works fine. For a remote install where the driving account's profile is not loaded it breaks. I'm not sure of what is going on under the hood, but it looks like difxapp is trying to detect component codes in the user's profile as part of the install, which fails if there's no user profile available.

To work around this you have to either log into the machine and run it locally, or else you have to find some way to forcibly load the user profile into the registry before starting the installation, e.g. by pushing down a bootstrapper to the remote device which will launch the MSI on your behalf, or at least that is the way we do it.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
