Hello gurus,
Trying to install the PI7.1 while in the sapinst pahse "install common system files" it tries to run the patch from the NTPATCH directory, called: vcredist_x64.msi.
I get window with:
Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: Fatal error during installation.
Commandline was msiexec.exe /norestart /L vcredist_x64.log /i Y:\PI7.1_installation\master7.1\IM_WINDOWS_X86_64_ORA\NTPATCH\vcredist_x64.msi /qn
while in the log directory I get:
DEBUG: Error 2203: Database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\3347f671.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147024629
MSI (s) (84:7C) [08:18:19:860]: Product: Microsoft redistributable runtime DLLs VS2005 SP1(x86_x64) -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203. The arguments are: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\3347f671.ipi, -2147024629,

Any ideas ?
Please advice,

Error 1603 usually says some kind of access denied or permission problem.
1. check that you have local administrator rights on the server.
2. check the the installation folder is locally on the computer (and you are not trying to install from a share on the network).
3. check that you don't have anything else running msiexec.exe (some other installation) - maybe a different installation.
4. install from an interactive console session, not from Terminal.

Just to reiterate. Changing the environment variables on Windows did resolve this issue in my case which is a fresh installation of Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 08.
sapinst set the TEMP and TMP variable to <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\temp and <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\tmp, respectively. Chainging the variable to an existing "temp" directory works.
Refer to SAP Note 1578091 - Installation fails with message: "Running msiexec failed with return code 1603: undefined"

Creating /usr/sap/<SID>/tmp worked.
Is there a way to change the %TMP% environment variable set by sapinst?

I had the same problem, and your solution worked for me too, so thank you.

Hello everyone,
For some reason sapinst set the %TMP% and
%TEMP% env to usr\sap\<SID>\tmp while this
directory didn't exist yet. So I changed
the direcotry to c:\temp, checked the
permissions and launched again.
It worked
Thanks to all of you,
Dimitry
