[wpkg-users] Installshield msi exit code 1603

[Patrick CAHILL]

Paul,
is the log the same on a manual install to a packaged one?
If it is, maybe 1603 is a borked OK code from this program and its actually installed but since WPKG is expecting 0 it immediately starts the uninstall entry.
 
I only ask as I have had GhostAI packages that returned some weird non-zero success codes, and as soon as it installed, wpkg uninstalled it thinking it failed.
 
You can get the errorlevel of your manuall install with the following three commands on a clean machine, from the same command prompt, one after another...
 echo Starting errorlevel: %errorlevel%
msiexec /i %SOFTWARE%\fluidigm\fluidigm.msi /qn
 echo Ending errorlevel: %errorlevel%
 
 -Pat

I can manually run the .msi as “msiexec /i %SOFTWARE%\fluidigm\fluidigm.msi /qn” and it will install successfully but if I try and do the same thing in a package I get a ‘Exit code returned non-successful value (1603) on command ‘msiexec.exe ....’’ in the application event log.
