Install of Outlook Junk Email Filter fails - MsiInstaller code =
Posted by BBM on November 26th, 2007


Hi,

My computer has been trying to install the latest updates to XP for about a
month, but the install has failed repeatedly. Every time I shut down my
machine it prompts me to "Install Updates and Shutdown".

I have an Application error "event" in the system event logs that says that
Error 1603 occurred (Source = MsiInstaller). I researched the error code and
it says "Fatal Installation error" (now THAT'S helpful MS).

I tried enabling verbose logging on the MsiInstaller, but I don't see any
logs that appear to be for this install in C:\Temp.

What should I do?

Thanks.
