Issue with 1605 error in SCCM causing programs to stop
Hi all
i am trying to uninstall 3 previous versions of a program which could be on machines prior to installing a new one
i have one program created in sccm 2007 which is the new install, before that runs it is set to run a bat file which simply executes
msiexec.exe /x {1110000-111000--11100011---} /qn
msiexec.exe /x {1110000-111000--11100011---} /qn
msiexec.exe /x {1110000-111000--11100011---} /qn
they are just example codes
the issue i am getting is im not worried if they arent installed i just want them to skip and continue and remove them if they are present, but non of the old versions are present on my test machine and when deploying in sccm its failing at the uninstall.bat phase with 1605 - only valid for products installed and not running the install.
can anyone suggest a way to skip these processes only if they are installed and still run the other program as im stumped with this?
thanks

populate the Upgrade table of the new version and that installation will take care of the uninstall's of any previous version.

When futzing with upgrades, be mindful of where the RemoveExistingProduct standard action is positioned. - anonymous_9363 12 years ago
You can first check for the products uninstall registry key and if present, only then run the uninstall command.. This can be easily done in batch or vbscript.
Can you try this..

hi thanks for this
found something similar
but sccm still reported and error
way round it to add exit to my bat file with the parameters /b 0 - keane2012 12 years ago
From an SCCM point of view (not the MSI package) you could create a task sequence to run all your items. Remove the 3 uninstalls from the batch file, and add each one as a task in the sequence along with your install.
You could then set continue on error on the steps that may cause problems, so the sequence will run and result in the new product installed, after removing all previous - if present.
The MSI upgrade method is the best approach, but my suggestion is another approach that may work for your situation.
Hope that helps,

Hi Dunpy
the above doesnt work already tried that, it errored with 1605 "only valid for products installed"
the way i got it to work was to run the batch file with a check and force the error code using exit /b o
that way sccm pushed onto the next program
its the first time i have come across programs not moving on and running the next, it should have ran through the batch file and just not uninstalled it, but was producing an error 1605
forcing 0 let it then run the next bit - keane2012 12 years ago-
In the Task Sequence for each Run Command line, add 1605 to the list of Success Codes. You can also check the box to Continue on Error - theChad 10 years ago
