Fata Error 1603 when installing X5 on XP machine with Word 2003

I am trying to install RoboHelp X5 on a Dell running XP with
Office 2003 installed. I have an older installation CD, with only
Word XP, Woord 2000, and Word 97 as selections. I have tried both
Word XP and Word 2000. I have selected just RoboHelp Office, I have
tried it with just RoboHelp Office and RoboHelp Control Client, and
I have tried it with those two plus the 1-Step PDF. I get the same
2 errors each time.
First, I get an error 1324: The path Portugu?s (Portugal)
contains an invalid character.
I OK through that.
Then I get a Feature Transfer Error, error 1603: Fatal error
during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (msi.chm) or
MSDN for more information.
Needless to say, I found nothing specific enough on the MSDN
site to help me figure out what to do next.
Can anyone help me out?

Take a look at the topic on my site about installing
RoboHelp. The Portug?s is covered in Snippets
I haven't seen the Feature Transfer Error but hopefully
something in the article will make the installation go properly and
avoid it.

Error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003

Is anyone else getting an error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003? I tried all 4 types and still get the following:
"An error was encountered while publishing to Word. Verify the following and try again. Word is installed on your system. Word is not busy."
Word is installed on my system and was not in use, so I am not sure why the error. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I use Captivate 4 and it publishes to Word 2003 without issues.
Perhaps it has to do with the way your Word 2003 has been installed? Either that or it's a "rights" issue to be addressed by your IT propellerheads?
Cheers... Rick

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.)

To create the installation point I copied both CD's to our server and executed a command line setup.exe /a
Can anyone help me move forwards please?
Thanks

Hi there,
Try the following silent install command via the DOS command prompt:
setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN REBOOT=ReallySuppress PIDKEY=B1234-1234567-1234567-1234 INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5" /qn /l* C:\temp\CRXIr2Trace.txt
Notes and explanations:
In the above example, it assumes that you copied the installation media to the C:. You will also have to change directory to the wherever the win32 directory is. The setup.exe is located in the win32 folder of the installation media.
If you had put the win32 directory in say, C:\CRXIr2\win32, then you will have to navigate to this point first before typing the string above. You will also need to change the product key from B1234-1234567-1234567-1234 to match your own.
The ADDLOCAL switch specifies a list of features to install. ADDLOCAL=ALL then installs all the features.
The REBOOT=ReallySuppress prevents Crystal Reports from prompting the user to reboot the machine
The /qn switch performs the installation silently without prompting the user .
Finally, the string above also logs the installation to a text file in C:\temp\CRXIr2Trace.txt.
You can find a full explanation of the switches and silent install string from xir2_cr_install_en.pdf in the installation media.

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 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 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

Error 1603 when installing Presenter 10 32-bit

Hi there ... I've packaged up Presetnter 10 32-bit using the Creative Cloud Packager, however upon attempting an install it is failing with an error 1603 which seems to be related to a custom action in the MSI.
CustomAction CADeploy returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
MSI (s) (98:8C) [12:26:51:858]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
MSI (s) (98:8C) [12:26:51:858]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
Action ended 12:26:51: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Thanks,

Please make sure that you are following the correct process while creating a package or deploying a package.
Instructions for creating Presenter 10 package for 32-bit OS and 32-bit PowerPoint or for 64-bit OS and 64-bit PowerPoint:
Please launch CCP and Click “Creative Cloud for Enterprise”.
Sign in using your Adobe ID and click Next.
Now, click on “Create Package”.
Select “Serial Number License”.
For 32-bit OS and 32-bit MS Office, select “32-bit package”. For 64-bit OS and 64-bit MS Office, select “64-bit package”.
Click Next and enter the serial number for Adobe Presenter 10.
Now, select Adobe Presenter 10 from the list and create Build.
Adobe Presenter 10 package is created and you would see “Builds” and “Exception” folder.
Deploy the contents of build and exception folder just like you do for other CC products.
Instructions for creating Presenter 10 package for 64-bit OS and 32-bit PowerPoint:
Please download Adobe Presenter 10 from Adobe.com or from your Adobe Licensing Website (LWS) account and extract the .7z file to a folder by double-clicking the .exe file.
Once done, please launch CCP and Click “Creative Cloud for Enterprise”.
Sign in using your Adobe ID and click Next.

Click Next and enter the serial number for Adobe Presenter 10.
Now, click on “Offline Media” option at the bottom of the window and navigate to the installer for Presenter 10 extracted in step 1. You may have to select the 32-bit folder inside the extracted setup folder and then build package.
Adobe Presenter 10 package is created and you would see “Builds” and “Exception” folder.
Deploy the contents of build and exception folder just like you do for other CC products.
Deployment Instructions:
On your machine you have to open Command Prompt, Right click on it and select Run as administrator. In Command Prompt you have to go to the exact path where Presenter package folder is placed and go inside build folder.
Once you are in build folder location in Command Prompt then type the command :- msiexec.exe /i name of the package.msi /quiet and press enter.
After then please open Task manager , In process tab you will see msiexec processes are running and It will install/deploy the Presenter 10 Package silently on your machine.
I would suggest you to please remove Adobe Presenter and its older components completely . Delete the left over files and folders manually for Presenter.
Disable the Firewall and Start up items.
Reboot the machine and follow the steps mentioned above to create a package and deploy it .
If you still face any issue then please send me a installation logs as private message .
Regards,
Rajeev.

Error 1603 when installing Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2

Hi There,
I have began upgrading our Exchange servers to Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2 last week and the first 3 servers all successfully installed it without any problems. However I have hit a problem with my 4th server.
I am receiving the 'common' error 1603 in my Application log and I have already ran through many potential fixes to this problem on various posts on this and other forums, but to no avail.
I have tried the following without success:
Turning off UAC
Running from elevated CMD prompt
Running from elevated Powershell command
Removing and re-adding "Exchange Trusted Subsystem" from the Administrators group
Re-downloading the RU4 install package to the local disk on the server
Adding more RAM and CPU resources
I have watched the installation process and it seems to update of the native assembly files and comes to the "Starting Services" process, with which it appears to do fine as I have watched the Services starting within Server Manager while this has been running,
but then all of a sudden just begins "Rolling back actions".
The only difference with this server to the others is the fact that a colleague of mine had to recover this server within the last 6 months and ran the Setup /m:RecoverServer command
to do so, could this have anything to do with it?
I have installed Exchange 2010 Service Pack 2 on this server since the recovery though.
I am running out of ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated.

skippy-85,
Any updates on this Issues?
In case if the issue stands
resolved, Please mark Solution for this Thread and close this.
In case if you still have
the issue with the RU4 installation do let us know!
Thanks
