Overview
Error: 1603 Windows Installer 3.1 v2
To remedy this error there are a few things to consider. Below are two of the most common solutions, starting with the most common.
SOLUTION 1
- From a command prompt CHANGE DIRECTORY (CD) to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
(Note: If this is a 64 bit operating system it should read: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 )
- Run the command aspnet_regiis -i This registers the ASPNET app with the IIS (Internet Information Services)
- From the command prompt type in IISRESET and hit enter
- Run the installation package and ignore the error
This command will re-register the ASPNET with IIS and should fix the problem.
SOLUTION 2
The 1603 error may also occur as a result of the Default Web Site within IIS is not set to 1 for the identifier.
If the Identifier is set to a number other than 1, the Identifier number can be changed:
(Note: This is IIS administration. Changing Identifier numbers may affect other applications utilizing IIS. Careful consideration is required before changing Identifier numbers.)
First, to find the identifier of an IIS website, you simply need to click the "Websites" folder in the left side of the IIS Manager windows. The right pane will list the websites on the server and their respective identifiers. If you need to change one, use the following three commands (assuming the current id is 2 and you want to change it to 1):
To change the Identifier Number please do the following:
- Open a Command Prompt (Start>Run>type CMD>press OK) on the machine where IIS is installed and type the following:
- CSCRIPT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs STOP_SERVER W3SVC/2
- CSCRIPT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs MOVE W3SVC/2 W3SVC/1
- CSCRIPT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs START_SERVER W3SVC/1
- Once this is done type IISRESET and the identifier will be changed
Once the Identifier is changed, run the installation package again and the SELECT Server should install without receiving errors.
