It sounds like it would be helpful to enable Windows Installer logging
using the article listed below:

The logs that are created might point you to a specific failure. Most
commonly when software deployment via GPO fails, it is because the machine
account doesn't have permissions to the file share. If you've granted read
access to the Everyone group, that should not be a problem.
Does the OL2003 msi file apply successfully if you login as an
administrator and run it from the file share?

| Trying to push Outlook 2003 over GPO Computer policy. I only get an error
| saying the installation source is unavailable, when it certainly is. Paths
| are UNC \\server\softwaredir\installer.msi
| \\server\softwaredir\tranform.mst
|
| In that form. The testing pc boots, says performing outlook 2003 managed
| installation and boots very shortly afterwords, only to have an error in
the
| aplication log about the installation source being unavaiable.
|
| Any help? I did set the permissions to Everyone read access.
