AAMEE MSI error 1603 on silent install
Hello,
I have been trying to silently install Adobe CS6 Design Standard, and haven't been able to.
I have used AAMEE to create the MSI package to deploy, but even running it as administrator on console won't do that trick. (The package is a trial, so I can later serialize them at will)
The Weird behavior:
1- The loading Window opens and loads till the end.
2- It starts loading again till half way.
3- Rolls back and leaves me wondering.
I have checked the logs on %temp% and have found that a Custom Action is actually returning the error code: 1603 (fatal, which is making it close and rollback).
here is the piece of the log:
CustomAction CADeploy returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
MSI (s) (98:D8) [15:30:49:333]: Closing MSIHANDLE (6664) of type 790536 for thread 1256
Action ended 15:30:49: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Things I have tried:
- I've tried installing on windows 8.1 ONLY, but did try it in different machines and never got it to actually work past that point.
- Have also tried Installing using the package files used to create the MSI and they DO WORK. Although they render me useless, since I can not deploy them silently.
- Have tried playing with the files and cleaning up cached data and re trying everything with no success. so I'm at a dead end.
I've read a whole lot of articles on ITNinja, adobe forums, 3rd party party forums, google and have not been able to find a solution...
I'd appreciate some help if anyone could spare!
Thanks in advance! ![]()
