Backlash – You have obviously tried one of the solutions offered from this thread, but there are more to choose from if you read through the entire topic. Have you tried all of the solutions offered here?
I cannot make myself any clearer.

December 6, 2003 at 1:37 am #57595stoneheadMemberI hope this will help.
I resolved this way.(I use Win98 second edition)
1. Scanned hard disk w/surface
2. reinstall windows
3. reinstall explorer
4. install msn messenger.it worked !
I think the problem was files lost or corrupted of W or explorer.

I wouldn’t ever consider Reinstalling Windows a solution to this type of problem, It’s more hassle than it’s worth.
Reinstalling just explorer would probably have done it, I’m not sure why you would reinstall Windows before reinstalling explorer…
December 10, 2003 at 10:55 pm #57596stopby2001MemberMy OS is WIN2000, here is what I did to fix error-1603:
1. right click c:/Documents and Settings/your-folder/Local Settings
2. Properties->Security->Add
3. Add user “SYSTEM”, and enable “Full Control” permissions to it
4. Apply above change
5. re-install MSN Messenger 6.1, it worked nowNote: actually, I added user “everyone”, after installation, i just removed it from the user list.
Good Luck

Going to Microsoft likely won’t solve anything, reading this entire thread just might though. 😉

For me, the suggestion of turning off my popup blocker (AdAware) did the trick.

Hello freinds,
I have winxp pro, and I was trying to install messenger 6.1.
I had the following error messages as shown here
http://www.chroniclesofjoy.com/1603.gifI tried all the solutions offered in this thread and none worked.
So I just said what the hell and went and downloaded msn messenger 5 from here http://g.msn.com/7MEEN_US/EN/NT4/SETUPNT.EXE
and then tried to upgrade the program. It didnt do that either.After installation of 5 and unable to upgrade, i went and tried to install 6.1 on its own, and voila. It worked. I have no idea why it worked.
Please note that i had first unzipped the 6.1 download executable w/ winzip before running the msi, as sombody else in this thread had said to do.
Any ways good luck!

February 4, 2004 at 2:09 pm #57602pimlittleMemberYESSSSSS DISABLING POP-UP STOPPER WORKED.
I am using Windows XP with Office 2003.
Ad-Watch was running when i got the error.
when i closed down Ad-Watched everything worked great.
thanks a bunch wackyguy for posting!!!Quote:quote:Originally posted by Wackyguy18I also had the problem of Installing MSN 6 because of 1603 error. I figured out that a pop up stopper program of mine was causing this.. If you have ad-aware 6 and have ad-watch activated, right click the icon in the taskbar and chose terminate, then install..
If this helped anyone plz tell me, I want to know if this was actually causing it. Thanks!
February 15, 2004 at 5:00 pm #57603chad5871MemberQuote:quote:Originally posted by Connor9220IF your running Windows 2k or Windows XP and are getting the 1601 error message, BE SURE that the Windows Installer Service is RUNNING. I found that mine was set to manual instead of automatic. Started the service and ran the install and it worked. To check, goto Start –> Settings –> Control Panel, Click on Administrative tools, then find and click on Services.. Then look for Windows Installer, which will be way down the list as it’s in Alphabetical Order. Make sure the service is running, if not, RIGHT click on it and choose Start, you might also want to change it to start Automatically to avoid problems like this in the future. Please note that I did do the msiexec /unregister and msiexec /regserver thing before finding this.
I tried this solution, but when I tried starting my Windows Installer service I got the following error message:
Quote:quote:Could not start the Windows Installer service on local computer.
Error 109: The pipe has been ended.Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve already tried every other solution here. Thanks in advance!
