Framemaker XI package does not install - MSI error 1708/1603

Hi,

I've created a Framemaker XI package with the "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition", provided the serial number and added patch 11.0.2. The package was successfully created on a network share the installing admin account has full access rights to. Target system is a W2K8 R2 64bit terminal server.

When installing, the msi rolls back, throwing error 1708/1603 after collecting all it's msi properties, nothing gets installed. In the LOCAL folder of %APPDATA%, I find a file called PDApp.log with the follwing content:

I don't know where the problem is, but it seems that installation fails because something is missing in the package?

Anyone?

best regards

Olaf

@Olaf - I'm pretty sure a W2K8 Terminal Server isn't supported as a location for FM - you should talk to Adobe Support - installation issues are usually free calls.

@Jeff - you probably should be flinging these installer questions over to this forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/framemaker/techcom_suite_installer?view=overview instead of the general FM one.
