Here, I will show you various fixes that you can try to fix the “ The Feature You Are Trying to Use in on a Network Resource That is Unavailable” error.

How to fix “ The Feature You Are Trying to Use in on a Network Resource That is Unavailable” on Windows PC

The Feature You Are Trying to Use in on a Network Resource That is Unavailable error can occur due to a number of reasons. Some of the common ones include either the Windows installer is not working properly or struggling with some bug/glitch or the application package is not well-formed or is corrupted. I have provided different fixes for this issue based on different possibilities of causes behind the error.

Fix 1: Restart the Windows Install Service

If the Windows Installer Service is not working properly then there are high chances that you will get errors like the one we are discussing in this guide. Hence it is very important to have a look at the condition of the Windows Installer Service.

Now you can try installing/uninstalling the program with which you were getting the error previous and hopefully there should be no error this time.

Fix 2: Run the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter

There is no doubt that Windows is one of the most prominent OS that is used worldwide and Microsoft knows it very well. The company is very well aware of the fact that being functionally rich can also cause little hiccups in the OS. That’s why Window comes with different built-in troubleshooters that can be used to solve normal software-related issues. And those who are not built-in can be downloaded and used from their websites. The Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter are one of those. Using this troubleshooter is recommended in situations where you are getting issues with either installing or uninstalling a program.

• First of all, click here and download the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter.
• Once downloaded, open it by double-clicking on it.
• Click on Next to start the troubleshooter. Choose the option Installing or Uninstalling based on when you are getting the error.
  
  
• After that, let the troulbleshooter fing the issue and follow the on-screen instructions to solve it.

Once the troubleshooting process is done, restart your PC and try to install/uninstall the program that you were facing the problem with previously.

Fix 3: Delete the Registry Key

The Windows Registry editor can be used to edit and correct the registry settings and values in order to eliminate the abnormal behaviour of the PC. A slight tweak in the Windows registry can also help in solving the “The Feature You Are Trying to Use in on a Network Resource That is Unavailable” issue.

Once the PC is booted up run the installer/uninstaller package and see if it is executing properly or not.

Fix 4: Repair the program

You can try repairing the program that is causing the issue. However, this option is not available for every program that is installed but you can try if it is available for the program that you are facing the problem with.

On the Repair window, follow the on-screen instructions and close it once done. You should now be able to install or uninstall the program as per your requirement.

Fix 5: Download a new fresh copy of the program at a new location

Lastly, if nothing works then you should consider changing the location of the installer file that you are trying to run and ending up in the error message. Not just that, you should consider downloading a new fresh copy of the same installer/uninstaller program. This is because there are chances that the current installer/uninstaller of the program that you are dealing the error with is going through some bug or maybe it is corrupted. Hence downloading a new and fresh copy of the same program may help. Also, when you download the new copy, make sure to change its location to somewhere else, maybe to a different drive if possible.

Bottom Line

Finally, here comes the end of this fixing guide and I hope that this will help you get rid of the “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable” error on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC. Normally, the most effective way to solve this issue is by deleting the registry sub-key of that particular program, you are facing the problem with. But the issue can also be due to improper or stopped working of the Windows Installer Service. So, restarting the service may also help some users. The rest of the fixes that are mentioned here, can also be used in cases where there are slight bugs or if the installer/uninstaller program is corrupted.
