Paul Anderson had the same issue a while back, and posted this as a
solution.
Thread subject: Exit Code 1603 When Setting Up Visual Studio .NET 2003
Using SMS
Thread start date: 04/02/2005
From: Paul Anderson <paul.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Finally, I've got a working solution to this problem. Our new third-
party
support people have obtained a tool from Microsoft to replace
smswrapper.exe
and I've tested it successfully, although it hasn't been rigorously
tested
by either myself or MS.
The resolution is to use a tool called VSUnattend.exe instead of
smswrapper.exe in the package and adding 'NoInitialFileCopy=1' to
Setup.SDB.
Otherwise, if you follow the procedure outlined by MS in the original
article, it should work:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327792
The package program command-line is the same, but with SMSWrapper.exe
replaced with VSUnattend.exe. If anyone wants a copy of VSUnattend.exe,
e-mail me and I'll send it to you.
Note that we don't yet know how good this utility is at passing back
errors.
It certainly reports back a success code (0) and should also report back
failure codes when the deployment doesn't go right. However, how
informative these codes may be remains to be seen. What I do know is I
can
now do a successful deployment of VS and get a success code (0) back
*after*
the deployment completes.
