error 1603

Hi guys, I have a application that gives me error 1603 when I ty to deploy it using SMS. I did some research and found that by turning on verbose logging i would be able to find out what the problem was, but I'm not a very good troubleshooter so can anyone tell me what the problem is by looking at the log file below.

Thanks!

First, is it 1603 or 1605 you're after?

Second, ever heard of Google? The search term (including the quotes)

"windows installer" +1605

was useful, as was substituting '1603' for '1605'.

Log files can be a bit overwhelming if you are looking at them for the first time. And the dialog may report one error and then the log file will show another. Error 1603 in particular is pretty much no help. I like to see the questions being asked here even when the answer is just a link elsewhere so it is that much easier to find. There is also a community contributed database of Windows Installer errors maintained right here at AppDeploy: http://www.appdeploy.com/msierrors/

Alright guys, so i've tried everything from setting the REINSTALLMODE="omus" to even deleting the REINSTALLTEXT and verifying that I do have the install script it requires to work. What confuses me about this vendor package is that it runs fine if I run the package directly and use the /qb command, but won't run with SMS depolyment tool. Any suggestions you guys may have would be higly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If I recall the package is installed through the system account when deploying through SMS.
So it could be a problem with the profile access.
Install with verbose log to find out some more info or was the log info from your first post all you got?

AngelD - The log I posted up in my first post is the only contents in the log file. I don't know much about what actually is wrong from the log file, but does the "DisableUserInstalls=0" = Yes ? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks alot!

Setting the DisableUserInstalls policy to 1 prevents any per-user installation which doesn't seem to be the case in your situation.
Could you try installing the package through SMS while the user is logged in if not already done?
Is the ALLUSERS property defined?
Try setting it to 1.

Hope it helps

I know next to nothing about SMS deployment but, from what I've read over recent days, I now know that there's an option to have SMS copy files locally before running the install. That has to be worth a shot, right?

I also have access to marimba which is giving me the same log file as above. Any thoughts on marimba VBScab?

Thanks in advance!

AngelD - I tried having the user log on while receiving the push and I got the same result. I also took a look at the 1033.mst provided by the vendor and ALLUSERS property is set to 1 so I went ahead and pushed out the package with the 1033.mst and I got the same result. Can there be a CA some where that may prevent me from deploying the package?

Thanks for the help!

Marimba copies the files locally to run them - in a similar way to the option in SMS.

You haven't mentioned what the application is - is it a packaged app, or a vendor MSI?

Thanks,

This application is a component part of a bigger application called Teradata Tools and Utilities. I extracted the MSI i'm having problems with (Teradata GSS Client nt-i386) by choosing to do a network install.

Let me know if there is anything you guys want me to try.

Thanks!

it runs fine if I run the package directly and use the /qb command, but won't run with SMS depolyment tool Clearly SMS thinks the package is already installed. Run a process or registry monitor while the package deployment is attempted. That will show you if the Product Code is being interrogated and returned.

As I believe I've mentioned, I don't know SMS at all but I'm thinking...do packages have to be 'registered' in SMS? Could it have picked up the product code from another package which *is* already installed?
