Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk

Error Message

Please check that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path.
Unable to locate file D:\Source\USD_r11.2_Server\winsrvr.nt\disk1\Unicenter Service Desk.msi.

I’ve got that error message although the file is there. I’ve got that error when I want to modify component (add feature/remove). When I click Cancel, I’ve got this following error:
