in a verbose MSI log file ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Aaron StebnerAugust 1, 2005107 0 0 0 There is a trick I use very often when trying how to fix error 1603 to figure out why an MSI-based setup is failing that I wanted msi error 1603 pdq deploy to share with everyone. I believe it is commonly known among setup developers and people who have to troubleshoot exit code 1603 sccm failed setups, but I could not find any "official" documentation for it. This trick helps narrow down the root cause of error code 1603, which is a generic catch-all error code that https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1603-install-cs3-cs4.html means "fatal error during installation". The 1603 error code is returned when any action fails during an installation, and most commonly it indicates that one of the custom actions in the MSI failed. When I encounter a failed setup with return code 1603, here are the steps that I follow: Re-run the setup with verbose logging enabled using steps similar to those that https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/08/01/how-to-locate-the-cause-of-error-code-1603-in-a-verbose-msi-log-file/ I listed here(if there is not already a verbose log file available). Those steps will generate a verbose log file named msi*.log in the %temp% directory the next time the setup package is executed.Important note - some MSI-based setups, includingthe .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5andhigher and Visual Studio,will not create log files named %temp%\msi*.log even if using the instructions listed below. Please see this blog post for more details about why that is the case and also for a list of some products that I know of that use different log file creation logic and the locations of the log files that they create. Open the verbose log in a text editor such as notepad and search for the string "return value 3". In nearly all cases, this takes me to the section in the verbose log that lists the action that failed that initially caused setup to rollback. 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, I will proceed to more detailed debugging from

Answers 2 While using NetInstall 5.8: I encountered error 1603 while trying to push Litronic NetSign CAC, which is a software package for reading smartcards. By using the verbose logging feature for MSI, I was able to determine that the installer was looking for the netsignconfig.ini file, but was reporting that the file does not exist, which resulted in the install failure. I was able to create the INI file by using the nsconfigwizard.exe which comes with the NetSign software. By reading the Litronic KB and making some educated guesses, I wrote a script that copies the INI file to the "%windir%\temp" folder, and then calls the necessary MSI. This resolved the error.
