Installing SQL Prompt error

tshad · February 27, 2009 4:27PM

I am trying to upgrade my SQL Prompt 3 so it will work with my Query Analyser in 2008.

It seems to go through OK, but then gives me an error.

Says: Installation failed MSI Returned failure code InstallFailure(1603)

What is the problem?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Sorry, but a 1603 is a generic error and doesn't indicate what the problem is. You may want to right-click the icon in the upper-left of the Toolbelt Installer window bar and select locate logs. You can email the logs to support@red-gate.com or try to work out the problem yourself by searching for the 1603 in the text.

If you are installing on Vista SP1, you may be affected by a bug in Vista that prevents you from being able to register COM components, which SQL Prompt is technically implemented as:

I hope that this helps you!
