1603 Fatal error during installation

Hi!

Could someone help me with this error I am getting.

When running the installation, I get the following 1603 Fatal error


My verbrose log is as follows:

I read in another forum to look for "Return value 3" and to print that out, here it is:

Has anyone experienced the same error? or can tell me what may be causing this and steps on how to fix it?:confused:

Thanks!

I am using Installshield 2008 Professional Edition Version 14

when I analyze the log this is what I get

Found the problem.:)

It was quite bizarre. A file within System Configuration > XML File Changes was causing the problem.

I deleted the XML and re-imported it and the error went away.

The new imported XML is identical to what it was before. :confused:

just glad its working now 🙂

Thanks! I had this exact same error. Curious how this happened.

EDIT
Turns out I had changed the location of the files it was associated with. The xml file was still pointing to the old location in the XML File Changes screen.
