Installation of Management Console fails

Question

I'm trying to install the OpsMgr Management Console on our management server, but it fails:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: System Center Operations Manager 2012 Console. Product Version: 7.1.10226.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Installation success or error status: 1603.
All requirements, as stated
here, are there. So I reboot the server and executed msiexec directly:
msiexec /i Z:\Setup\AMD64\Console\OMConsole.msi OM_INSTALLDIR="
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager" SEND_CEIP_R
EPORTS=0 MU_SETTING=0 /l*v c:\temp\msi.log
When I open the verbose log I get some more detail but I still don't understand what is happening:
Calling custom action CAManaged!Microsoft.MOMv3.Setup.MOMv3ManagedCAs.AddFullTrustForAssembly

What is going on and why is the installation failing?

Answer 1

I suggest uninstalling both .Net frameworks (3.5 & 4.5), reboot server and then install them back, if not 4.5, try installing 4.0 and try installing SCOM, hopefully this should work
Else, as per your exception there seems some problem with CAS policy which was obsoleted by the .Net framework
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NotSupportedException:
This method explicitly uses CAS policy, which has been obsoleted by the .NET Framework. In order to enable CAS policy for compatibility reasons, please use the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy configuration switch
