You'd get better answers in an SMS forum.
Basically you need to check your client health, your MP ( Management Point )
health and validate that the DP ( distribution point ) has the updated package
source.
Basically SMS controls DP's based on client subnet. There is the concept of
protected, local and remote DP's and a process in which software package
revisions are transmitted to the DP's and then pulled down to the client using
BITS. Various things can go wrong along the way and when the client can't
validate that it has the actual package it won't run the program indicated in
the package.

Hi,
I am able to deploy my .msi package through SMS2003. But when I run this
package on the client machine. It throws a message that "The Program can not
be Run. Because programs files are currently unavailable."
Any Idea?
Regards,
Veerendra
