This also works for third party 'error 2203' from win7, XP and there is the likelihood that the same is true for Win 8. Office 2007 Installation Fails with MSI Error 2203 I have not tried it on Win 8, but it does look like an ownership matter, most of the 'error 2203' where almost always installer related. Install Python for Windows One came down to damaged ram, i hope this is not so in your case. If this doesn;t work you may find your answer by typing 'error 2203' into search and tap enter. There is not much on this subject in the Python Communities at the moment. http://python.org/ hope this helps in someway. share|improve this answer edited Oct 6 '11 at 14:22 answered Oct 6 '11 at 13:54 mic84 2,16911216 It turned out I had two problems.

For this extraction command line (and others I presume), DO NOT have the msi you are extracting in same folder as TARGETDIR. The windows installer seems to lock the folder during the extraction process and therefore the contents cannot be written to the same folder. share|improve this answer answered Aug 6 '14 at 17:44 user3124079 16112 1 This fixed my problem. I wouldn't call you stupid. Rather, what's stupid is that the error message is so opaque that you can't just look at it and figure out the answer. –George Apr 29 '15 at 0:
