Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/01

This happens a lot with apps that auto-update before package manager contain that update: [Wayback/Archive] MSI installation error 1603 – Windows Server | Microsoft Learn

Cause

You may receive this error message if any one of the following conditions is true:

  • Windows Installer is attempting to install an app that is already installed on your PC.
  • The folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is encrypted.
  • The drive that contains the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to is accessed as a substitute drive.
  • The SYSTEM account does not have Full Control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install software.

Query: [Wayback/Archive] Exit code was ‘1603’ – Google Search
