"Using new temp path" not in windows installer log after "Attempting to use temp pat"
I have an installation that we have seen several computer have an error 1603 message.
This error does not happen on all computer. Plus It has only been seen during major upgrade.
At first I had no clue what was the cause for this issue but after analysing the windows installer log of certain computer I may have found a clue.
Usually when a log "Using new temp path" appears, it will be usually followed by a log "Attempting to use temp path"
So here is the section of the log that seems to be erroneous. No trace of the "Using new temp path".
And here is the same section without the problem.
These section of log represents a call to a custom action which in the first section returns 3 which represents not completed. It should be returning 1 like the second section of the logs.
So what is the real meaning when there is no log of the "Using new temp path" Could this be the cause for my 1603 error message?

Just for clarity, in reality the title to this thread should have been using the wrong temp folder.
So basically the new temp path retrieved from the isconfig.ini is not used for the following execution, as you can see from the logs.:confused:
