Error 1603 when installing Acrobat XI Pro - no luck with any suggestions

Hi all - I have been trying to download Acrobat XI Pro via the Creative Cloud installer, but I'm getting the following message:
ERROR: Install MSI payload failed with error: 1603 - Fatal error during installation.
MSI Error message:
ERROR: Third party payload installer AcroPro.msi failed with exit code: 1603
I have successfully installed Photoshop and InDesign in the same way. I have tried the following suggestions from the Community:
Empty Temp folder
Re-register msiexec
Uninstall/Cleanup Tool/Reinstall
It gets to about 42% and fails every time. Any ideas?
many thanks!

Thanks Ned. I had already tried those suggestions. Our IT Ops Manager finally sorted this out by running the installer manually, rather than through the Creative Cloud installer. It was 'Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 11.0.01', which was not removed via the Cleaner Tool.

Error 16 when installing Acrobat XI Pro

I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Palomar Audubon use. While installing on a PC running Windows 8.1 I received an "error 16" message instructing me to uninstall/reinstall the program. Since then I have been informed that 1.) the entered serial number (<Serial Number removed by moderator >) is invalid and 2.) I need to uninstall and reinstall the program. At my wits end I ask that SOMEBODY can solve this dilemma for me. Let me know at: < Email ID Removed by Moderator >Although I have previously been very pleased with available donations through TechSoup I am gradually becoming more and more disheartened by this installation problem?
Now another message:
Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server.

Thanks for offering to remove Allen Rippe:

For future reference... if you have the trial version installed and plan to buy it after trying it out, there is no need to uninstall it. It can be activted to full use with the serial number from your purchase.
You should still be able to download and install the trial version and use your serial number to activate it. For the direct download link to the trial below, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Error when installing Acrobat 11 Pro under Mac OS 10.8.3

When trying to install Acrobat 11 Pro on my iMac (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, OS 10.8.3) I get an error message saying "installation failed" during the "validating packages" process. The software seems to run o.k., but I'm unable to apply any updates. Any suggestions?

To investigate problem at our end, we require following logs:
1) /private/var/log/install.log
2) /tmp/oobelib.log
3) /tmp/amt3.log
4) ~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log
(It might be that out of 2,3 and 4 a few are not present. Ignore those not present on the system)

Error-1603 when installing Itunes on PC

Hi
I just got a Ipod Nano, and installing Ipod updater went fine, but in the middle of Itunes installing it stop and an error came up.
hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
Error 1603
and installment stoped.
any help would be nice
thx

hi Sofie!
hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
okay, even though you didn't get a 1402 or a 1406 with that message, i think you should start with this document:
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
i've noticed that for some folks with european localisations of Windows, they don't get the error message numbers with those messages referencing registry keys. but problems with those keys generally are 1402s or 1406s on other localisations of Windows.
(generally we only attack the 1603 directly if folks get it as a standalone error. if it shows up at the end of a chain of error messages like this, we should try to deal to the first error in the chain. if we can fix that, the 1603 should go away of its own accord.)

Error 1305 when installing LabVIEW 7.1 app built with app builder

I have built an executable with installer from LabVIEW 7.1 app builder. The app installs/works fine, however 1 user reported 'Error 1305' when installing the app from a DOS subset on a WinXP machine. For example, a virtual drive is created using the DOS 'subst' command (see http://www.easydos.com/subst.html for more info), e.g. 'subst z: c:\temp'. Now when running z:\setup.exe, the error 1305 is encountered. If the same app is run from c:, e.g. 'c:\temp\setup.exe', it works fine. Is this a bug in the installer, or in the OS...?

Greetings,
This is an architectural issue with the Microsoft Windows Installer and Windows, and will occur with any MSI (not just those from the app builder). Under XP, a MSI cannot install from OR install to a location created by the "subst" command. My understanding of why is that installSequence runs in the context of the MSI engine, which is running as "system" user. But the subst command is a per-user setting (local to your account) so the MSI engine doesn't see it.
The only workaround is to run the MSI from a non-subst drive, or instead use network file shares (you can simulate what "subst" does by mounting an exported file share from the same machine).
Regards,
- WesW / NI

I just purchased ACrobat XI Pro for Windows and tried to install it today. I did not touch the computer during the install but it gave me this error and will not install
I rebooted and tried running the install from the CD again and the same error occurs
Setup Interrupted
The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro could be completely installed.
Your system has not beenb modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
I have tried running setup again and no matter what I do the product does not install properly.

Thanks

See if you can install it via downloading it. Just use the serial number from the disk to activate it...

Error 1603 when Installing JMS

Hi, I am doing a training period and i just tried to install JMS Standalone 3 2005Q1, on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1.
When launching setup.bat, an error 1603 occurs, saying that a file cannot be modified because it's in used but the installation goes on.
The first time, the installation goes right and i could test JMS and the helloworld message.
Back from week end, nothing, imqadmin occurs an error. I re install, still an error, actually nothing at all.
According to Microsoft's web site, error 1603 are due to limite access. I've ADMIN access, so could you give me a hand please.
i tried to be the most exhaustive on my problem, in the best english i could
thx

Okay, I really need this to be fixed. I've already tried the "ultraclean" install and a bunch of other crap, but iTunes and the iPod Updater refuse to come off my computer. In Add/Remove Programs, like I said before, there are 4 iPod Updaters, with 2 of them without a button, and the two that have the button to remove, it doesn't work. There are also 2 iTunes.
Oh, and the QuickTime standalone works, but I uninstalled it in hopes I could get iTunes to work again. Also, when I run the iTunes installer, where it's supposed to show the destination folder, it's blank, and I have to type it in manually.

Error 1603 when installing

Okay, when I tried to install iTunes 6 (and previous versions of iTunes), I got the error 1603.
Now, on the installshield support site, I've tried everything there, and the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility doesn't work on my computer. Now, when I go to the Control Panel, there are instances of iPod and iTunes on there, but there's no uninstall button.

Error 1311 When Upgrading Acrobat X Pro

I have Acrobat X Pro and have tried upgrading but keep receiving the Error 1311. How do I fix this issue since I am upgrading and not doing a clean new install?
Steve

There are various aspects reported online for this error. One suggests a system file problem for Windows (http://www.wiki-errors.com/err.php?wiki=1311 - I am not necessarily recommending this as the issue, but it is one report.) Another option is given by Adobe at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/install-error-1311-1335-or.html. Howver, there is an implied error message given here in terms of a source file not found. All you have indicated is the error number and no message. If there was a message, please post that also. Microsoft posts are generally related to not being able to find a source file also.

Error 1603 when installing CS4 on Windows 8.1

Good day
I'm trying to install CS4 Design Premium on Windows 8.1 64bit machine. A previous install has failed and I uninstalled it using Windows and AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe
A couple seconds into the installation (after actually starting the install) the following error appears:
"Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
Fehler: Error 1603. Schwerwiegender Fehler bei der Installation."
Any help is appreciated!
Best regards
Simon

you can uninstall any cs4 program that is installed.
clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
and retry installing.
if you again see a 1603 error, check your install logs for more specific info - Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4
