Error 1603 using SCCM when installing.

[chrism27377]

I am having problem installing flash player from the software center after I deploy it. I get the generic error 0x643(1603). Here is my program installation:

msiexec /i "install_flash_player_30_plugin.msi" /qn

and this to uninstall

msiexec /x {696A028E-3E09-40A1-A827-CF1CCBEC41D4} /q

This should work but does not. This is a 32 bit version on a 64 bit windows 10 machine. The .msi file is from Adobe and trying to install the Firefox ESR plugin. I have looked at the SCCM logs but it just says failed. I have looked at the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log but this is the file when it auto-updated and no errors. Any ideas?

Hi,

Please provide the following log files for the same installation attempt:

• C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall64.log
• C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log
• MSI install log with options verbose and extra debugging (v and x) enabled

Upload all 3 files to cloud.acrobat.com/send (see How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud​) or some other file sharing service of your choice that doesn't require log in to access.  Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.

The installer is a 32-bit installer, but on a 64-bit OS, it installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Flash Player, thus both FlashInstall log files are required.

Shared Files - Acrobat.com  will get the last file ASAP. I do see an error in there but it does not tell me anything.

All 3 log files must be for the same installation attempt.  If the MSI log file is being generated after providing the 2 FlashInstall log files, then new FlashInstall log files, that go with the MSI log file, must also be provided.

Are you installing the PPAPI plugin for Chrome, or some other Chromium-based browser?  If Chrome is the only Chromium-based browser in use, there's no need to install the PPAPI plugin separately as Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome.

I also noticed some updates performed via Background Updater.  Usually enterprise users who deploy the MSI don't enable Background Updates, as they manage the Flash Player deployment via future MSI deployments.  Can you please provide additional information on your deployment strategy (e.g. how exactly to you deploy Flash Player, including updates)?

Hi,

The client.msi.log shows this error (same as above):

---------------------------------------------------------------

Action start 23:52:25: StopDeleteWUSER32.

MSI (s) (08:1C) [23:52:26:037]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0

Action ended 23:52:26: StopDeleteWUSER32. Return value 3.

---------------------------------------------------------------

At the bottom of the ccmsetup.log it ends with this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm having trouble locating a windows installer log.  The %temp% folder would be in docs&settings\userid\local settings\temp, I would assume and I've looked through the folders for the acct that is doing the client install as well as all the other acct folders and can't seem to locate any logs with a current date/time stamp.  Any idea where I would look?

Also, BTW, I reinstalled MSI 4.5 before I did this last client installation, but I did it remotely/silently, so no prompts or data returned... I just found the errors below in the \windows\KB942288-v3.log file... might be related?

I'm not seeing anything related to a Flash Player installation in the log file you reported.  What exactly are you attempting to do?

If you are attempting to install Flash Player, the generic 1603 MSI error provides no troubleshooting information.  To troubleshoot the Flash Player installation, please provide the following files, for the same installation attempt:

• 32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log
• 64-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall64.log AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log (both files are required on a 64-bit OS)
• MSI install log with options verbose and extra debugging (v and x) enabled

Upload all 3 files to cloud.acrobat.com/send (see How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud) or some other file sharing service of your choice that doesn't require log in to access.  Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.

Also provide the following information:

• Client OS version
• SCCM Server OS version
• SCCM version

Thank you.
