Office2003 Install with CIW and OPS Error 1603

Paul · Dec 9, 2004

Im installing office 2003 with SP1 slipstreamed and using CIW with Profile
Wizard, this installs fine on a fresh build. The problems happen when
upgrading Office XP it will install as long as the profile installing it
hasnt used OfficeXP if it has then the error below occurs, if it hasnt then
it installs. However, when a user logs on who has used OfficeXP they are
unable to open any Applications. you have to remove their profile get them to
log back on and all works. If you remove the .ops file from the CIW all
works, this is not a prefered option though.

Type: msi
Ignore Return Values: False
Reboot: False

Successfully launched MsiExec....
09/12/2004 17:45:24 Chained install return code: 1603

Exit code was an error.
Shutting down chained setup processing.
Set Verbose logging for subsequent setup.

***** Setup exits

(return = 1603)

Hi Paul,

It's not clear if the issue you're seeing is the one covered
by the CIW 2003 Hotfix available from Microsoft, but you may
want to look into it.
