Cannot install Dell EMC OpenManage System Mgt Sofware. Error Code 1603
Hello,
Im running into the following code when attempting to install the following upgrade patch to Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Software 9.3.0 (64-bit):
Required Update patch: SysMgmt_9302_x64_patch_A00_A00.msp
When attempting to install this patch to upgrade ell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Software 9.3.0, the patch immediately rolls back and I receive the following error message:
"The install package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
Additionally, I see the following error in the Servers Application Event log:
"Event Properties - Event 1024, MsInstaller
Product: Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Software (64-Bit) - Update 'Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Software (64-Bit)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127"
My reason for installing this patch is to resolve the following Tenable vulnerability:
| Plug In ID 142596 | Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Path Traversal (DSA-2020-172) | Medium |
Has anyone seen this before or do you have a way to resolve? I also tried using MSIEXEC.exe to install but this only yields the same errors as above
thanks for any input.

Jayhall50,
Would you confirm the model server, as well as what OS, you are using?
I ask as it is often easier to just uninstall OMSA and reinstall with the latest supported version, except if the version used is due to the age of the OS. So I wanted to verify in order to save you resources if it is easier to install a newer version.
Let me know.
