I'm getting a strange error in the software center.  The applications and packages deploy without any problems but users receive an error when trying to install the application or package through software center.  They receive the error "Insufficient Permissions for Software Installation" and "Your IT department has set restrictions for this software that prevent it from installing on your computer".  I have attached the screenshot.  We are running SCCM 2012 on Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2 on a separate server.  If this is something that is configured on the server I don't remember ever doing it but I can't find that error anywhere on Google so I'm kind of at a loss for the moment.  Again, any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

In client settings there is an option to restrict or allow installation, I think it's in the soft dist or client agent sections. Make sure this is set to allow for all.

Computer agent -> install permissions.

That was the answer.  Thank you both for your help Jason and Torsten.

Thanks! And for people out there who are not familiar on this section, here's a good read:

Configure how users can initiate the installation of software, software updates, and task sequences:

• All Users: Users logged on to a client computer with any permission except Guest can initiate the installation of software, software updates, and task sequences.
• Only Administrators: Users logged on to a client computer must be a member of the local Administrators group to initiate the installation of software, software updates, and task sequences.
• Only Administrators and primary users: Users logged on to a client computer must be a member of the local Administrators group or a primary user of the computer to initiate the installation of software, software updates, and task sequences.
• No Users: No users logged on to a client computer can initiate the installation of software, software updates, and task sequences. Required deployments for the computer are always installed at the deadline and users cannot initiate the installation of software from the Application Catalog or Software Center.

What about on a Thin Client with FBWF enabled? I found trying to install an available application in Software Center presents this same message even though the client setting is to allow all users. Do I need to make all application installs for FBWF or EWF clients Required?

I have the same issue on Thin Client (WES7) end FBRF enabled. Have you managed to solve it or is there anyone else who can maybe help me somehow?

Oddly encountering this error as well on an HP MT41 with EWF turned on. Under the local Administrator account.

Installs are set to "All Users".

SCCM 2012r2 CU3 Environment.

This is my SCNotify and SCClient Log exerpts

SCNotify

So, from that, I took I should look in WMI, here is the contents of the properties of CCM_ClientAgentSettings.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Found this in the SCCM Documentation Library doc file (Feb 1, 2013).

Why do I see an error message about insufficient permissions from a Windows Embedded device when I try to install software from Software Center?

You can install applications only when the write filter on the Windows Embedded device is disabled. If you try to install an application on a Windows Embedded device that has write filters enabled, you see an error message that you have insufficient permissions to install the application and the installation fails.

I'm receiving the same error, even though I'm logged in as administrator and my client agent settings for Install Permissions is set to "All Users".  WMI settings match on clients that can perform the install fine, and those that cannot.

Any update on this from anybody?

Is it a WES environment? Or full Windows?

Mine is full Windows technically.  But it's also heavily locked down and off-domain, running Citrix for the user experience.  It is, essentially, acting as a thin(ish) client.  I thought there might be overlap?
