Q:
I'm running into trouble applying the MST to the MSI and using NAL to push out the MSI application, and hope you can steer me in the right direction. I get this NAL error: "Problem: Install Failed. MSI Returned Error Code 1603". What's up with that?



A:
Enter a valid Product Key into the "Configure Local Source" dialog within the Microsoft Custom Installation Wizard.

  • I have the same problem running the MSI for AutoCAD2007 but the solution is not very helpful to me.
  • Same here with Visio 2003. I'm pretty sure the key is ok, because a manual setup with the same MST (using the TRANSFORMS-parameter) works fine...
  • I'm getting this error when trying to run an MSI file and I haven't applied any mst to it. Its just a straightforward msi file.
