If you click OK in the message box, the installation rolls back. When you try to install a Windows Installer package, you may receive the following error message:Įrror 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation.

Has anyone seen this error before? Any suggestions on how I can pinpoint the problem and/or fix it and get this error to stop showing up will be very much appreciated.This article helps fix the error 1603 that occurs when you install a Microsoft Windows Installer package.Īpplies to: Windows 10 - all editions Original KB number: 834484 Symptoms I am out of ideas and searching for the ASUS Update Helper yields very little in google.

The motherboard is a TUF Gaming B550M-Plus with a Ryon it. I did install the most recent drivers available for the motherboard in the ASUS website. I think this might be related to the motherboard chipset because it is an ASUS board. I did try their solution of turning off the ASUS Updater-related services, but again, I'm hoping to find a better solution than just never update. I also checked around here and found a similar problem, but with a different error code. The 13h stamp showed up after the system awakend from sleep (I had to leave for about 30 mins and it went to sleep). Either way, changing the updater to manual and stopping it from running in Services seemed to have an effect (notice longer pauses between errors), but the updater would turn itself on again at restart (restarts were at 10h30 and 11h). I also tried stopping ASUS Updater to see if it would have an effect and help me pinpoint where the problem is, but I'm not certain about turning off the updater for good. I have checked and Windows Installer does have Full Control permission for C. I spent my morning searching for information on this error and came across a few suggestions, like checking that Windows Installer has Full Control permission on the C: drive (where windows is installed), or simply stopping ASUS Updater from starting in Services. Namely, Windows Installer fails to reconfigure ASUS Update Helper (error 1603) (see printscreen at end of post). I recently assembled my own PC and it runs just fine, but I have noticed a frequent error showing multiple times per day in Windows's Reliability History.
