1603 msiexec Failure When Doing a Remote Client Install
Jamee McDonald | 11 Mar 2009 | 3 comments

I ran across this issue the other day with a customer who was trying to do a remote client install onto one of his machines. The install failed with the error code mentioned in the title.

Usually the error code is a result of trying to install a client over the top of a previous installation of the client but that was not the case in this instance.

What I discovered was the customer had Norton Ghost installed on his target client. After uninstalling Norton Ghost, the remote client went through without a hitch.

I am not sure exactly why this would fail unless the GSS console recognizes installations of Norton Ghost as clients. Which seems to be the obvious reason. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!
