Situation

MSI Error 1612 when distributing an MSI application through NAL.
In the ZAPPLIB.LOG file you see the error: "NWAPPDistributeMSIApp returned 53340
MSI application distribution failed". 53340 translates do D05C which is the same error code as the 1612 MSI Error - "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."

Resolution

Make sure you create the MSI application by putting in a UNC path or making sure that the target workstation has the same drive letter mapped to the same place that is being used by the application. Also you may need to uninstall the previous version of the software too.
