      MSI Error 1603 installing AppFabric 1.1 / Win7 x64

      I am receiving MSI Error Code 1603 trying to install AppFabric 1.1 Hosting.  A month or so ago, I installed AppFabric 1.1 Caching, and it installed fine. My hunch is that some recent Windows Update caused this issue.

      I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I previously had AppFabric 1.0 installed, and completely uninstalled it.

      My coworker is having the exact same problem with the exact same history as me - except that she is only now installing AppFabric 1.1 - and only Caching (not Hosting).

      Here is the error in the Windows Event Log (Setup).  [The installation log file shows no more details than this.]

      Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Core.SetupException: AppFabric installation failed because installer MSI returned with error code : 1603
         at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Installer.WindowsInstallerProxy.GenerateAndThrowSetupException(Int32 exitCode, LogEventSource logEventSource)
         at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Installer.WindowsInstallerProxy.Invoke(LogEventSource logEventSource, InstallMode installMode, String packageIdentity, List`1 updateList, List`1 customArguments)
         at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Installer.MsiInstaller.InstallSelectedFeatures()
         at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Installer.MsiInstaller.Install()
         at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Setup.Client.ProgressPage.StartAction()

      Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks.

      1603 is a generic MSI error, can you share the step at which it failed in the logs ?

      Also, can you check the value of your PSModulepath environment variable ? We have seen in the past that a wrong value there sometimes throws.

      Ankit, thanks for your reply.

       

      My PSModulePath seems fine:

      PS C:\> $env:PSModulePath
      C:\Users\U1FC11\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules;C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\;C:\Program Files\AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server\PowershellModules

       

      Below is an excerpt from my Detailed Installation report; followed by an excerpt from an even more detailed log that I found.
