Is there any way to detect, which prerequisite setup is failing? Eventlog does not help 😞

Hi @BkSetupDev ,

  • Error code 1603 is a Windows installer's generic error code when custom action throws any error/exception. Windows installer does not show actual error/exception in installer logs.
  • To verify actual error/exception we have to debug the custom action.Please verify if custom action is throwing any error/exception.
  • As well were you able to install the above mentioned pre-requisite independently?

Thanks,

Jenifer

There are a lot of (feature) prerequisites we are installing (depending on the system up to 15). Is there a way to detect, which of this prerequisite setups is failing?
