Error 2203 During Administrative Install (msiexec /a)...
Hi all,
I'm trying to play around a bit with Group Policy deployment as I may be coding a widget around that to help our customers deploy through GPO.
I'm trying to create the administrative installation point, but I keep getting the following error, no matter what I try..
"Error 2203 Database: c:\Program Files\OurCo\OurProd\Client\Install\clientinstaller.msi
Cannot open database file. System error -2147287008."
I've tried everything to ensure the proper permissions are allowed on the Target directory, file, etc, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas??
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!

TARGETDIR should not be pointing to the folder where the main msi is located. Select some other location where the installer has write permission to extract files/folder along with msi.
Can you post the command line which you are trying to execute here

One quick question.. Are you trying to do Admin Installation without passing TARGETDIR="<The location where you want to extract the files and msi">.. Because the above post says, the msi file is getting extracted under C:\Program Files\....\.. folder or are you trying to do Admin Installation to C:\Program Files folder.. - jagadeish 12 years ago

No, I tried both passing TARGETDIR as the path described by the message with /qb! as well as setting the TARGETDIR in full UI, but there was no difference - error.
I am trying to extract to the same folder as the one holding the .msi. Maybe that is the problem so I will try extracting to another folder. - Superfreak3 12 years ago -
That is exactly what it was. I was setting the TARGETDIR to the same folder as that housing the .msi. After extracting to another folder (set TARGETDIR to another location) all seemed to work. - Superfreak3 12 years ago

I had actually seen and tried all the recommendations in these posts previously, but no good results. - Superfreak3 12 years ago
