    Hi Bob,

     

    your problem is based on the MSI itself. The MSI can have properties to control execution context:

     

     

    Here an example based on 7-zip, during upload the MSI itself will tell you what is available:

     

     

    And during configuration you can limit this to a certain context then:

     

     

    I guess your MSI package has a defined user execution context.

     

    Can you check this please?

     

    best,

    Oliver

I would like clarification, also.  

 

"Note

Deploying MSI over MDM in device context is not supported yet on Windows 10 devices."

 

From this article:
