Parallels Tools Error 1603

Hello Yana,

The Error Code 1603 issue came up once again today.

Please refer to the below link to get the ticket details which also has the log files attached:
https://support.parallels.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=1403271

Lastly I provided the customer with the last possible steps like removing antivirus program and parallels tools and then try installing.

Please let me know if there is anything more which can be done from our end?

Awaiting reply
 
this is not the error message - it is some random part of log. Once again - 1603 is a generic error massage - it means INSTALLATION FAILED. it never says why and there might be a different reason every time. Search for another error code or similar
