in a verbose MSI log file ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Aaron StebnerAugust 1, 2005107 0 0 0 There is a trick I use very often when trying msi error codes to figure out why an MSI-based setup is failing that I wanted installation success or error status 1603 windows 7 to share with everyone. I believe it is commonly known among setup developers and people who have to troubleshoot error code 1603 java 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 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 installation failed with error code 1603 that 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 debu

that an error code returned has the value of 1603). Many applications are built around Windows Installer.
Msi Error Code 1
Most Windows Installer installations have one of the following extensions: .msi , .msp , .msu. Note that installations that end in .exe can still be a Windows Installer setup https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/08/01/how-to-locate-the-cause-of-error-code-1603-in-a-verbose-msi-log-file/ if the exe is merely a wrapper around a Windows Installer package (msi or msp etc). A common example is found in .exe files that Microsoft provides for their security patches. These patches are merely wrappers for embedded MSI and MSP files. Remember that an Error Code does not necessarily mean that an error occured. An Error Code http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/common-windows-installer-error-codes/ is always returned even during a successful installation. The most common error code returned is 0 (zero). 0 is the common code for SUCCESS. Another successful error code is known as 3010. This means that the installation is ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED. Translated: The OS needs to restart and then the installation will be complete and successful. A very common error code is the painful 1603. This error often means that a Pre-requisite was not met. (e.g. You deploy an application that assumes the existance of a particular file or application such as .NET. When the installer attempts to access the file (or application or registry key or whatever) that it ASSUMES exists but actually doesn't, then a 1603 error is commonly returned. If you see this error, make certain that ALL of the setup files were present during the deployment / installation.

Read on to learn how to sidestep this speed bump. The following is a non-exhaustive list of known causes for this error: Short file name creation is disabled on the target machine. An Install Script custom action is prototyped incorrectly. A file is locked and cannot be error code 1 overwritten. The Microsoft Windows Installer Service is not installed correctly. The Windows Temp folders are full. The setup was corrupted after installation and, therefore, fails with this error during un-installation. An older version of Install Shield Developer is being used. A general error occurred during the installation. Print and File sharing is not installed or enabled when installing MSDE 2000. How to Avoid this Error The following solutions have resolved this error in the majority of cases: 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_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem 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 cre
