Installation Problem

[Sehboo]

I have a desktop application which users can download and install.
They can download, install and run the application first time. But
second time, some times everything is fine, but some times they get
the error which says "feature you are trying to use is on a network
resource that is unavailable. An installation package for the product
cannot be found. " If they see this error then no matter how many
times they try to run the app, they always get this error. The only
way is to uninstall and then reinstall the app.

It is a very simple installation with couple of registry entries and
about 5 files being deployed along with shortcuts to those files. I
can double click the exe file manually and everything is fine, but if
you try to run the application thru shortcuts then you see the above
error.

This of course is not very convenient.

any idea what could be going wrong there?

Thanks
