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. windows installer error 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.

Ihave two MSI logs to help in troubleshooting but I can't figure out how to attach them to a post? The first is just double clicking the installer and the second is right click run-as-admin. I am on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 as part of a domain and I am logged in with an account with local admin privlidges. It appears something is broken about my MSI since I can't uninstall anything now either. Any help greatly appreciated.
