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.

to check out this blog post. I'm going to spend some time on this damn error. I swear this error message is the "exit code" dumpster for Windows. It seems, on its face, to be the http://www.adminarsenal.com/admin-arsenal-blog/windows-installer-error-1603-behind-the-rage/ most useless exit code consistently thrown by Windows. Well, maybe not. 1st things first, what do those "close" to this error say about 1603? "Well, we know he grew up in a decent neighborhood. He wasn't incredibly popular but he had a few good friends. He enjoyed listening to RATT and Twisted Sister but he also waited in line for 2 days to get 3rd row msi error seats to see Depeche Mode during the Black Celebration tour. His given name is: ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE. His SSN is 1603. His Family Crest is thus emblazoned: A Fatal Error Occurred During Installation. It was with Windows XP that he went through puberty. All of the normal issues of a maturing American Error Code were present in 1603 during this time. Acne, Braces, Body Odor and, of course, Nocturnal msi error 1603 Emissions. Slowly he started losing friends. Within 6 months he was compared to a Steven Jesse Bernstein poem. He was quickly becoming the loner that we know today. "He's probably the hardest working error code out there" says Nils Sille, a Sys Admin and part-time error code bounty hunter. "You could say he is the Sasquatch of the Windows world. Every snapshot we have of the adult 1603 is similar: You never get a good look at his face and he's always walking away." Fellow 43 year old virgin and part-time Sys Admin, Humphrey Warren, concurs. "If there was ever a time when we need the Bat Signal, it is now." OK, listen, forget the lore. Forget the sensationalism. Lose the fear. When you run into a 1603 error, don't panic. There are a number of reasons that installations throw this error. Most of the time it is because "someonewas expected but never showed up". That "someone" could be another Installation file, inadequate permissions to a directory or file (which you'd expect to see Error Code 5, the standard code for Access Denied events), an expected registry or WMI value, an environment variable, a network drive, etc. Antivirus
