Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 7.0.0.102 version, then you should use SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi file in order to extract Skype.exe and Login.cab files.

Error while installing Skype; code 1603

Good evening,
Today my girlfriend tried to update her Skype but she got an error code:
- You can not remove the older version of Skype / tm 6.18. Contact your technical support group
- Error while installing Skype; code 1603
She tried some solutions I believe but nothing seemed to help, I'm not sure what she did so far, I guess it's not to much. Maybe somebody got an idea what it can be? Please help.
Netbook: Acer
Windows 7
Thanks in advance, I would really like to know the solution since I can't wait to be able to Skype with her in a normal way again.
Greetings,
PS: Lately when I was spending time on Skype with her I barely saw her, and we thought that updating her Skype might solve the problem, somebody knows if this would solve her problem? Or maybe it's a problem with her internet?

Thanks for the fast reply, but we are not quite there yet unfortunatly.. When she tries to download http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.18.0.105.msi she gets the message:
The Installed Product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed.
So we can't really get started till this is solved. You might know a solution?
We also tried the http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en We got quite far with this but in the end we had 2 messages:
- Cannot install or uninstall a program (Not fixed)
- Corrupt Patch Registry keys (Fixed)
Is this a good sign? I really don't know myself.
Thanks in advance again!
Greetings

1603 error while trying to install skype

I'm having an issue while trying to install Skype on this computer, when I try to install it, it pops up and says "Object Already Exists" and then I get a second window saying "Error 1603 has occured: Fatal Error During Installation." I had Skype and it told me I needed to update so I clicked it and I've been getting this message ever sense. I tried to find Skype to uninstall it but after clicking that update the program was gone. So I went into Program files and deleted all skype related things and tried to download and install again. Got the same message. Please help!

You have to reboot for that fix to work. If you already did this then for whatever reason the solution didn't work on your machine (possibly due to some other corruption). The issue you are having is not Skype based but Windows/OS installer based. Try to install the latest Windows updates to see if that will fix the issue as newer Windows updates were designed to address that problem. If you have already tried that then remove the problematic Windows updates that causes this issue on some computers.

Cant install Skype 7.0 - Error 1603

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Cant install skype Having issues Windows 7"]
Hi, This is my first time using Skype's fourums so I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
But when I had a screen saying to update it wouldent let me and had errors so I decided to uninstall skype and reinstall.
I uninstalled Skype from control panel and it doesnt show up in program files.
Also searched whole computer for "Skype" And found 8 results and it wont let me delete those.
Now when I try to install Skype I keep getting 1603 Error code and I already tried using Microsoft fix it but it cannot find "Skype"
Any help would be greatly Aprreciated. Skype is the one way I call and talk to people.

Try this Lessmsi method:

Install Failed error code 1603 -- SOLVED

On Windows 7, upgrading to 7.1.0.105. The upgrade deleted the old version, but the install failed with error code 1603. Tried lots of things suggested here and on the net.
What worked was simply rebooting -- because there was a service: Skype Updater, that had to be deleted for the install to work, and rebooting is the only way to delete it. After the reboot, ran the install and it worked!

One thing to check for is look at your disk with Disk Utility and see if there is a new "Install OS X" partition. If yes you can delete that partition and resize your original partition (resize not reformat).

I have tried all of the community fixes.
I* have cleaned the registry and repair is using the I can not access any .msi files on the skype site (not authorized). So that solution does not work.
Thanks

First make sure that you have installed the latest Windows Updates.

Error 1603 Installing Creative Cloud from Network Path

I used the same method as I am going to describe below to install CS6 but I cannot do this with Creative Cloud.
After I built a install Package for Adobe Creative cloud I copied it up to a network share that I use for several other remote installations including Adobe CS6. I use Dell KACE to distribute my software and due to the large size of Creative Cloud and Creative Suite before it I do not want to copy the large install files directly to the appliance.
The problem I am having is when I try to install from this network location just as I have with CS6 I get the following error:
Installation operation failed
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat. Product Version: 1.2.0000. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems Incorporated. Installation success or error status: 1603.
Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat is what I named the package.
My install commands look like this:
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=pre
start /wait msiexec.exe /i "\\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Build\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat.msi" /qn /L*v c:\Adobe.log
start /wait \\SERVER\AdobeCC\Adobe_CC_NoAcrobat\Exceptions\ExceptionDeployer.exe --workflow=install --mode=post
I added the Logging after it kept failing to see what was going on and I can paste the entire log file if need be but if I copy the folder with the package contents locally and run the same commands from the same elevated command prompt it installs fine. Error 1603 usually points to some access rights issue but for the life of me I cannot determine what the issue is. I have given full control to "Everyone", "SYSTEM" and all users to the network share and it is only the MSI that fails it seems.

I have just run into this problem. I have made two packages earlier in the year (one of Creative Cloud Design and Web and one with Creative Cloud Master Collection both being for x64) and they both worked flawlessly when deploying via Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). However I just went to make a new package of Master Collection (only including the applications we actually use) and it is now completely broken (I deleted my Creative Cloud Design and Web package from MDT but still have my old Master Collection package and it still works).
My older packages were created on Windows Server 2008 SP2 Enterprise 32bit and I have tried creating new packages on Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard Edition 32bit and both give the same failure. I thought it might have been something about building on a x64 OS this time compared to last time but as I still get the same error when I tried to build from the Windows Server 2003 so that does not appear to be the case so I am guessing something has broken in the Creative Cloud Packager.
Has anyone tried going back to an older version of the Creative Cloud Packager? The current version is 1.6.0 Build 48 so if I can find a download link I will try and give version 1.5.0 a shot. Either way this needs to be fixed ASAP as it did work and I need a working deployment for the new Windows 8.1.1 Enterprise x64 image I am in the process of making.

Exchange Server 2013 Missing file on ISO install Error Code 1603

Hi all, a mystery needs solving any suggestions much appreciated:
We are trying to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows 2012 server.
The ISO File being used is: SW_DVD9_Exchange_Svr_2013w_SP1_MultiLang_Std_Ent_MLF_X19-35118
All preparation and requisites in place.
During Stage 2 Copying files, we receive an error code 1603 and installation halts.
The error states:
Installing product F:\exchangeserver.msi failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code is 1603. Last error reported by the MSI package is 'Source file not found: F:\Setup\ServerRoles\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\version\resources\themes\base\0\microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.'.
We have verified that the Path in the error is correct and exists BUT the file is not present within the 0 folder.
We have downloaded the ISO from our Action Pack resources twice and attempted 4 separate installations.
We have tried both Mailbox/Client Access and Mailbox only installations.
The missing file: microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Hopefully the only file misisng???
Any ideas anyone, could we source a different ISO or copy of the file or ?????
Many thanks in advance

Had the same issue with Exchange 2013 SP 1 Downloaded as an ISO from the Volume License Center, installing on a new Server 2012R2 STD box. I found the equivalent file in another ISO but discovered it was just an empty CSS file. So the easiest way is to not
bother trying to find the file but: 1) open notepad, 2) set save to "All Files", and 3) save an empty CSS file with that filename then place it in the directory indicated in the path given in the error. (Make sure it saves as
a CSS and not as a TXT.)
I reran the install and it completed without issue.

When installing Skype, I get error 2001

Every time I try to installing Skype, I get the iTunes error 2001 (not very helpful at all)!
The message push-up after I push the "Get App" button.

Pat,
Thank you for responding. I'm experiencing the same runaround. I don't know which Illustrator link to click, and the one I did click wound up giving me the same error message. I think the problem is I need to download it to the Cloud or to Google Drive. I don't seem to have an option for where Illustrator can be downloaded. I read on the Chromebook website that there is no hard drive on a Chromebook, that everything needs to be downloaded and retrieved to/from the Cloud. I need CS6 Illustrator and also need Adobe Photoshop for my class.
When I tried downloading I also noticed I was in an area for people who haven't paid. How do I download it as part of my subscription?
If downloading to the Cloud is possible, how do I access and retrieve programs downloaded to it?
Best,
Stephanie

Hi John,

I'm having trouble locating a windows installer log. The %temp% folder would be in docs&settings\userid\local settings\temp, I would assume and I've looked through the folders for the acct that is doing the client install as well as all the other acct folders and can't seem to locate any logs with a current date/time stamp. Any idea where I would look?
Also, BTW, I reinstalled MSI 4.5 before I did this last client installation, but I did it remotely/silently, so no prompts or data returned... I just found the errors below in the \windows\KB942288-v3.log file... might be related?
