Key notes

A consistent and reliable application deployment process is critical to the success of your enterprise. This includes ensuring that applications are installed correctly, with all the necessary dependencies and configuration settings.

However, the deployment process may fail with the error code 0x800702e4. This can happen if you don’t have a well-defined process to ensure applications are deployed correctly and consistently. We share how to fix the installation error in this article.

What is error 0x800702e4?

The error 0x800702e4 occurs when users try to deploy an application in SCCM, but it fails. Usually, the main reason behind this issue is that the application installation files are unavailable in the deployment package or the content location.

However, this is not the only reason. It can be due to many reasons, such as the following:

How do I fix error 0x800702e4?

A few basic checks before making any permanent changes include:

1. Adjust administrator privileges

Most applications are configured to be installed per user, which usually doesn’t have the required permissions. Assigning administrative privileges to the user account used for installing applications could easily resolve this issue.

The downside to this method is that granting permissions to unauthorized users can have repercussions for the enterprise.

2. Change the deployment type

Changing the deployment type from user-based to system-wide is another hack to ensure your apps install successfully.

This will ensure that whenever you run the setup.exe file, it will be as an administrator and will not prompt for elevation every time it runs.

3. Change logon requirements

Sometimes apps fail to install because the user’s account required to act is not logged on. You can adjust the settings so the applications will install whether the user is logged on.
