Situation
Company uses NAL to distribute standard applications to their
workstations.
One user cannot get an application configured as a chained app to install. When the application launches, this error is returned:
ERROR:
One user cannot get an application configured as a chained app to install. When the application launches, this error is returned:
ERROR:
Application Launcher Status
A dependent application failed to install.
[Full Name of Application] (id=1009)
A dependent application failed to install.
[Full Name of Application] (id=1009)
This error only affects this user, and follows him to other Workstations.
The installer is a Windows .EXE file, and is not an .MSI install.
Resolution
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the user in
question had his Windows User Profile restricted due to Corporate
Security Policy. Because of the restrictions, his Profile was not
delivered to the Workstation, and the application was returning an
access error.
If the application .EXE is called manually on the Windows PC the error occurs, but it is hidden by Windows. So, it appears that it installed correctly.
When the application is called by NAL, the error is passed through to the Windows Desktop and appears to be a NAL error.

D0XX. Any other error code reported by NAL comes from another
service or application and so NAL is only the messenger.
