  • Troubleshooting 1603 MSI Error

    As discussed, The 1603 error code is mostly returned when any action fails during an installation, and most commonly it indicates that one of the custom actions in the MSI failed. When we encounter a failed setup with return code 1603, here are the steps
    that we should follow:

    Re-run the setup with verbose logging enabled using steps similar to those that are listed here.

    Step 1: Generate a verbose log file named msi*.log in the %temp% directory the next time the setup package is executed. (Click
    here to know more ways to generate log)

    msiexec /i <msipath>setup.msi /l*v c:tempmsi.log

    Step 2: Open the verbose log in a text editor such as notepad and search for the string “return value 3″. In nearly all cases, this will take us to the section in the verbose log that lists the action that failed that initially caused setup
    to rollback.

    Step 3: Review the contents of the log file immediately above the “return value 3″ string to determine which custom action or standard action failed. Depending on which action is failing, We will need to proceed to more detailed debugging
    from here.

    One can find that the biggest hurdle to debugging a failed setup is often zeroing in on which part of the setup is actually failing, and this trick of searching for “return value 3″ ends up helping speed this process up in nearly all cases. Of course, it
    does not work in 100% of scenarios.

    Known Solutions

    The following solutions have resolved this error in the majority of cases:

    1. Make sure short file name creation is enabled on the target machine. You can check to ensure that the target machine does not have short file name creation disabled by navigating to the following registry entry:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlFileSystem

      Make sure the value “NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation” is equal to 0. This indicates that short file name creation is enabled. A value of 1 indicates that this functionality is disabled. You should change the value to 0. After modifying this value, the target
      machine should be rebooted before attempting to launch the setup again.

      Note: If the target machine should normally have short file name creation disabled, it can be disabled after the install completes by resetting “NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation” to 1 and rebooting.

    2. To ensure that the Windows Installer Service is properly installed and configured, it is recommended that users install the file InstmsiA.exe on Windows 95/98/Me or InstmsiW.exe on Win NT systems. These files are shipped with your InstallShield product
      and are located in the following location: <Product Path>RedistLanguage Independenti386. If the service is installed, to know the status of the service exection, you could also goto services.msc in the command prompt, check the status of the
      Windows Installer Service. “Stopping and restarting it can help”
    3. Empty all temporary folders. The specific temporary folders for a machine can be determined by accessing the DOS prompt and typing set. Note the values listed for TEMP and TMP, and delete all files in those locations.
    4. Make sure no other applications, including utilities such as virus scanners, are running in the background. Close all running applications and utilities, and launch the installation again.
    5. If this error occurs during un-installation, use the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp utility to uninstall the installation. Once the installation has been successfully un-installed, you can then debug the project to determine what caused the original
      error.

psexec remove outlook 2013 error 1603

i’ve been using psexec successfully for a while and have some experience

however i cannot get round this one and need some help

i need to remove outlook 2013 from approx 130 machines in a domain as it’s using a different volume licence key from our soon to be old exchange email provider as we are moving over to office 365, i tested an install of office 365 and it retained the old vlk so if possible i want to remove outlook first

i found the uninstall string by searching the registry, it was not in the usual 2 locations and took a while based on a keyword search of uninstallstring

anyway, when i run the cmd over the network i get the error code, i’m logged in as a domain admin and have successfully installed and removed other software before like adobe flash player, java, firefox etc

cmd exited on pc166 with error code 1603.

Popular Topics in General Software

Hi, maybe the UAC is the cause on this error.

try running psexec with the -h switch.

O365 requires a sign in from the user of the account. That’s where the licensing comes from.

What install did you use — click to run?

Weird msiexec 1603 error

I have an MSI package provided from a vendor that I am attempting to use to update their software on

30 PCs. I am trying to do this using simple file transfer and psexec to run an interactive batch that just has the msiexec command in it.

If I execute the batch for the msiexec command locally all is dandy, but if I try executing it using psexec, msiexec returns 1603. I sent the companies installer logs in, but they have yet to respond and I would like to do this sooner rather than later.

I’ve tried running the command directly using psexec and calling it on the remote pc using at to schedule it.

msiexec always executes and then errors out with 1603 after about 30 seconds.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try running PSEXEC with a /i switch and a /qb switch on the msi installer switch — this should give you a basic installation progress window and will show interactively on the end user’s system — might give you more information about the error. I had this issue when trying to install Visio viewer on a bunch of systems — turned out they were missing a vital windows update but no mention of this in any of the logs!

I do not have much experience with psexec, but I found this link:http://www.appdeploy.com/faq/detail.asp?id=73 Opens a new window

It describes a way to activate verbose istaller logging.

Maybe it can halp you analyse your problem?

@Simon thanks for the link, I already had verbose logging turned on, but that is an awesome reference.

@Rowan I changed my /qn to /qb and the log is saying that it completed successfully, I will be checking this again tonight. To verify the installation took and did not interfere with the workstation while installing. Thanks for the help.

After some testing I found that it would fail every time when I was RDPed into the machine using the local administrator account. Fix, set the command to execute at time x and let it be. haha

  4. Если значение DWORD в настоящее время равно 1, замените его значение, введя 0 в текстовое поле.
  5. Нажмите кнопку ОК , чтобы закрыть окно Изменить DWORD.
  6. Закройте редактор реестра и перезагрузите компьютер или ноутбук.

8. Предоставьте разрешение на полный доступ к приводу установки

During application installation in SCCM, users may encounter many errors in Software Center where the application installation fails. One such common error is application installation failed with unmatched exit code 1603.

Read: Step-by-Step guide to deploy applications in SCCM

Any errors that you encounter during application installation must be examined and investigated using the log files. SCCM has got several log files for every component. All the log files are listed in ConfigMgr log files article.

When you encounter the SCCM exit code 1603 while installing the applications in Software Center, there are multiple solutions associated with it. Let’s understand what exit code 1603 is and the possible solutions to resolve this error.

The exit code 1603 in SCCM is a generic Windows Installer error that translates to “Fatal error during installation.” This error code 1603 occurs when an application installer is corrupt or requires dependencies, or a firewall or a GPO blocking the installation.

Along with error code 1603, you also see the error “Unmatched exit code (1603) is considered an execution failure” in AppEnforce.log file. There are multiple solutions to fix the error code 1603.

Using the ConfigMgr error look up tools, you can translate SCCM error codes to error messages. With these tools, it’s easy to decode an error code and find the reason for the error.

Let’s use One Trace error lookup tool and perform an error lookup of SCCM exit code 1603. As per this tool, the error code 1603 (0x00000643) translates to Fatal error during installation message.

Let’s see more details about the SCCM Application install error exit code 1603.

In the below screenshot, we see an application installation in Software Center has failed with an unknown error. The more information box contains the 0x643(1603) error code. There is not much information about the error code 1603 seen in Software Center window.

SCCM Application Install Error Exit Code 1603 in Software Center

When you encounter an application installation error 1603 in Software Center, always examine the log files on the client computer.

For application installation failures in SCCM, you need to examine the AppEnforce.log file on the client computer. This log file is located in C:WindowsCCMLogs folder on the client computer.

Reviewing the AppEnforce.log file shows that the application installation terminated with exit code 1603. Unmatched exit code (1603) is considered an execution failure.

How To Fix SCCM Unmatched exit code (1603) is considered an execution failure

We will now look at the possible solutions for Unmatched exit code (1603) that appears during application installation in SCCM Software Center.

Solution 1 – Check the Application Source Installer

If you are troubleshooting the error exit code 1603, you must check the application source installer first. This is the installer that you have downloaded from web and packaged an application in SCCM.

In most cases, if the source installer is corrupt, the client machines will end up showing error code 1603 in Software Center. Eventually, the application fails to install on any computer when the installer itself is corrupt.

You can test the application installation by manually running the installer on a client machine. If the installer is corrupt, the installation will fail.

Read: How to fix Software Change Returned Error Code 0x87D00669

So, once you determine that the source installer is corrupted, you can download a fresh installer from the internet or vendor site. Save the installer to the sources folder (a location where you store all apps to package in SCCM). Re-package the application in SCCM and deploy it to client computers. This should fix SCCM application install error exit code 1603.

Solution 2 – Check the Application Dependencies

Some applications require prerequisites to complete the installation. These are called as Dependencies in SCCM which define one or more deployment types from another application that the client must install before it installs this deployment type.

For example, if you are installing an application that requires .NET Framework 3.5 as dependency, if the dependency is not installed, the application installation fails with exit code 1603.

These dependencies must be installed before the application that need it is installed.

Read: How to Fix SCCM Application Install Error 0x87D00324

If you know the list of dependencies that an application requires, you can specify them with following steps:

  • In the SCCM console, go to the Software Library> Application Management, and select the Applications node.
  • Select the application in the Applications node and select Deployment Types tab. Right-click on the deployment type and select Properties.
  • Switch to the Dependencies tab. Here you can click Add button and add the dependency for the application.

Solution 3- Check if Application Installation is blocked on client computer

The final solution that you can try to fix SCCM application install error exit code 1603 is to check if the application installation is blocked by other software programs. It could be an antivirus installed on the client machine blocking the installation, a Firewall or GPO too.

If it’s an antivirus software blocking the installation, you have to examine the log files on the client computer and whitelist the application install from the server.

Read: SCCM Endpoint Protection Log Files and Locations

Sometimes the application installations are blocked by a GPO defined on the domain level. When you attempt to install such applications, the Software Center shows exit code 1603. The system admins must ensure the GPO is not blocking the application installs.

I would like to know if the above solutions have worked for you or something else worked. Let me know in the comments section below.
