    These errors usually indicate that the package does not meet the expected installation/packaging standards.

     

    - Silent Install Check: Ensure the installer supports a fully silent/unattended installation and use the correct silent-install switches.

    - Add/Remove Programs: Verify that the application creates a valid Add/Remove Programs (Programs & Features) entry with the correct application name, version, publisher, and uninstall command.

    - Bundleware Check: Remove or avoid including unrelated third-party software, optional offers, toolbars, or bundled applications in the installer.

     

    Also, check the validation report for the specific error details or recommended remediation for each check—the exact fix can depend on the installer technology (MSI, EXE, MSIX, etc.).

     

    If you share the validation report/error messages or the package type, I can suggest the exact fixes.
