View Composer Installation fail

Hi,

I have just updatet my View Environment to 4.6.

But when I try to update (reinstall) my View Composer I got the Error message:

The wizard was interrupted before VMware View Composer could be completely installed.

In the vmmsi.log I found this error:

I have tried the kb1026513 but with no success... 😞

Has anyone a solution or an idea for me?

Thanks

Did you verify the MD5 checksum of the downloaded composer package yet?

I've did it now. The checksum is correct.

This is more a guess because error 1603 could mean anything. It's one of those installer errors that does not really help. Maybe the "C:\Windows\Installer\MSI7A34.tmp" file is a left over from the old Composer version. If the installer has any references to this file, it may use this one instead of the new installer. Take a look at the tmp file to see if it is related to the old or new composer version. I attached a small vbs script which will show you files in the installer directory which are related with installed products.

Syntax: cscript ReadCachedMSI.vbs VMware

A very good idea, zhank you for the nice script,  but the installaer has no reference to the file:

Check the C drive of the vCenter server it's full

Hello, I just want to inform everyone that I found the solution by myself.

I had a look in the folder "C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys"

There I have seen that permissions are given to a speciefied user. I used this user for the vCenter Installation last year.

Then I logged in with this user account, and then the Composer Installer finished with success.

🙂

Thanks for the support!
