[Bug] Random installs failing with "Exception calling "Remediate" with "2" argument(s)." #1899

Description

@lovell88

Prerequisites

PSAppDeployToolkit version

4.1.7

Describe the bug

With 4.1.7, I am getting failures when installing applications. The error in the log is: Exception calling "Remediate" with "2" argument(s): "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"

I have had this happen during the preinstall stage, which caused the whole install to exit and fail. I have also had this happen after the software had installed, but didn't cause a exit failure.

I am unable to reproduce this error. Log files are attached (I can't seem to attach .ps1 for my invoke script). I have a set of three applications this has happened with. The scripts are the same except for the filenames. Environment data is the for Revit 2026 log attached.
