Installation failing with error code 1603

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Was: "Please help me"]
i use skype everyday to talk to my friends and it said i need to update a while ago but it doesnt work but i thought that it wouldnt matter and i could still use the older version but now it says i have to use the newer version but it wont let me download it. i go through the update launcher thing up to the point where it says "please wait while skype is being installed. this may take a few minutes" and then a small box pops up saying "installing skype failed; code 1603. a fatal error occurered while installation." i click "ok" and it closes so now i cant use skype so i cant talk to my friends! please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to clear any currently installed version using this MS Fix It:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en
If this will still not help, then try this:

Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 6.18.0.106 version, then you should use this msi-installer link in order to extract the Skype.exe and Login.cab files:

Installation failed with error code 1603

Hi all,
while installing the configuration manager clients on a system manually, we came across this ERROR:
installation failed with error code 1603
Do anyone has any idea how can this be resolved. Several posts suggest its a problem related to client push installation method, but since I am installing the configuration manager clients manually, so I mush not be affected by anything related to Client Push Installation. However, be noted that client push installation is well configured on the server, there are certain computers where the client is not getting installed so we are installing the clients MANUALLY to those systems,
Any help and suggestions would be higly appreciated.
Regards,
Naveed

I have encountered the Error 1603/1602 while installing the HCKInstall\Client\Setup.exe on several machines. It appears to be generic at first, but it's not. The error code is being passed from the Service back to the MSI. It means that a service failed
to start. The key is that it happens at the very end of the installation and then does the rollback. The solution is to figure out which service failed and then remove it and the directories.
Here is what I did.
I created batch to kick off before I install the client now. It basically checks for installed HCK products and if there uninstalls them. Then checks for the state of each service and if running stops the service before attempting to remove the HCK/WLK leftovers.
Then it removes the sticky directory.

SCCM software installation failed with error for 1603

Dear all
I was trying to deploy Open Office 4.1.0 using SCCM.
As per many threads the issue might be with the MSI. but I could not figure out.
Please help me.
install fails with error code 1603
-sumeet

is this application failure or client installation failure ? with just one error code,difficult to find the exact issue. 1603 is generic error that refers to Fatal error during installation. Are you sure that the command line what you have used is correct
and is working manually ?
Check the logs for additional information that might help to trace the problem.

RoboHelp 10.0.1 Update installation fails with error code: U44M2P7

After installing RoboHelp 10, I ran the 10.0.1 Update's installer. It failed with the following error log:
Adobe RoboHelp 10.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P2
I tried re-installing RoboHelp 10, followed by a reboot of the machine. Several attempts to run the 10.0.1 updater gave me exactly the same error. No applications were running when the installation was attempted.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Layne

Only Adobe can tell the meaning of the error codes.
Are you downloading the update or running it from Adobe's site.
Try downloading from here. http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/downloads.html
Otherwise this is an installation problem that is supported free. Contact Adobe.

EMET 4.0 installation fails with error code 1720

On many, but not all, of our systems (Server 2008 R2), installation of EMET 4.0 is failing. Here is an excerpt from the verbose MSI log:

I've just spent the last 6 hours trying to find a solution to this. All the steps provided by other user never worked. Running the script separately worked just fine (and YES I was running it as admin). Basically I've come up with a workaround.
The section it's failing on is a CustomAction(VBSCRIPT) that the MSI is calling to 'look for' & 'close' emet_notifier.exe or emet_agent.exe. I know it's not there because I manually removed EMET. When you modify the MSI you can pull out the CustomActions
piece that is failing.
Step 1: Modify the MSI using Orca. Orca is provided by MS in the SDK Tools. I found this site helpful for getting Orca installed on Windows 7:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/bernhard_frank/archive/2010/03/15/how-to-install-orca-exe-from-the-windows-installer-development-tools.aspx
Step 2: After installing Orca, right click EMET Setup.msi and select 'Edit with Orca'
Step 3: Find all instances of the Custom Action and Drop the Rows: Find > _FA2E7A16_A819_4F3A_AB7E_0A039BE81BD7. (Right Click each row found and select 'Drop Row'. I found 4 Rows with this entry)
File > Save (or Save As) and Run the MSI.
EMET installed without problems. Since it doesn't actually fix the problem with Windows (it only fixes the MSI), you'll have to modify future releases of the MSI the same way for that particular PC.

Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) installation failing with error code 0x80070643 and B56

I've been trying to install Office 2010 service pack 2 (32 bit) multiple ways without success. I've tried getting it directly from Microsoft Update, downloading the full file from Microsoft and installing it, using WSUS to deploy to clients, and I've tried
using LANDesk to deploy it. All methods are failing.
I need a solution that doesn't involve touching each PC manually, as I have a feeling this error is going to occur on several hundred PC's in my organization. So far on a group of 15-20 test PC's, every one has failed. We have not had problems with any other
Microsoft Updates before this one.
When I try Microsoft Update, I receive the following error:
Code B56 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

I too have been unable to install the Office 2010 SP2 update on either a Win7 or a Win 8 system. Researching the errors I got led me to discover the following:
1. Many people are encountering errors during the SP2 installation. Some were able to get around it by downloading the self-installing package and bypassing Windows Update. Some were able to get it installed by first doing a Repair on Office 210 itself
first, and then installing SP2. But many others have not been able to install it at all.
2. Apparently a common and insurmountable issue that prevents SP2 from installing is the lack of the MSOCACHE directory. This directory normally gets installed on a machine during the original install of Office, and contains all the install files used
during the installation. Apparently the idea behind creating MSOCACHE was to allow subsequent updates without requiring the user to have the original source CD available.
The problem is that if MSOCACHE is deleted, which is an option many people choose, you can then no longer do any updates to Office.
I am one of those people.
I found a posting that described a way to recreate MSOCACHE from the source CD. I did that, and the SP2 update actually got farther - it started to install stuff but then stopped and asked for a particular file. I found the file on the CD and
pointed the installer to it, but it said the file was not found and quit. So my install still failed.
The last response I got at the Microsoft Answers site was to wait until SP2 is debugged. It's not clear to me this will ever happen, but we'll see.

IE11 installation fails with error code 4007 (USER_ERROR_MISSING_REQUIRED_PREREQUISITE)

Hello there
I'm having troubles with the installation of IE11 on Win7 over software deployment: Some clients fail with the error code 4007:
USER_ERROR_MISSING_REQUIRED_PREREQUISITE
All prerequired updates for IE11 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2847882/en)
are approved for installation:
2729094
2731771
2533623
2670838
2786081
2834140
However, KB2731771 will not install on the clients with the status: Not applicable. I think, this might cause the problem and I'm wondering, why this update will not install.
Thank you for your ideas and advise.
Cheers,
Simon

Hi,
For Windows update 2731771, please make sure that you've approved the right version for your clients, x86 package or x64 package.
The error indicates that the failed IE installation is caused by the failed prerequisite, so as
Alex_zz mentioned, we can refer to the ie 11 main log to find more detailed information, you can also locate to
%windir%\logs\cbs
%windir%\Windowsupdate.log
to find the detailed information of the failed update.

DPM Agent Installation Failed with Error code =0x80070643

Hi,
We had an Virtual Machine TFS server 2010 which had SQL server 2008 R2 installed on it.
On this Server we were running an DPM 2010 agent and it was fine.
Then I had uninstalled DPM 2010 agent and try to Install DPM 2012 R2 Agent on this Virtual Machine it gives me error 0x80070643. And for other VM the agent installation is fine.
When I checked on DPM agent logs in Windows/Temp folder it gives me below error.
I had tried with Deleting DPM Registry but still the Problem remains same.
Thanks

Hi,
Earlier the Protected Server had DPM 2010 Agent installed and while Troubleshooting I had already deleted the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup Registry
And Tried to Reinstall Agent but still it gives same error.
Regards,
Nadeem

Client installation fails with error: The client version 4.00.6487.2000 does not match the MP version 2.50.4253.3000. The client wil not be installed.

Hello World,
I have this remote server that used to be a sms 2003 secondary site server. We uninstalled the SMS role. And used the server as an SCCM remote distribution point. We also want to install an client agent on that server machine. But no mather how i try
to install the client i always see the same error in ccmsetup.log:

I think the installer finds some remenance of the old SMS_MP. When looking i found some remains in IIS . I tried to remove the remains but still have the same error when installing the client. I uninstalled IIS completly. Can someone tell me where the client
installer looks for the MP version? Would it help if i installed an SCCM MP on that server and the uninstalled it (Upgrade the MP)?
