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.
