OMSA on Windows Server 2008 R2

I'm having the exact same problem, event 1024 from MsiIstaller is logged:

Product: Dell OpenManage Systems Management Software (64-Bit) - Update 'Dell OpenManage Systems Management Software (64-Bit)' could not be installed. Error code 1603.

not much of a help... is there any installation log created anywhere?

Open a command prompt "as administrator" and run the command "msiexec /update .msp /L*v c:\temp\patch_log.txt"

This patch_log.txt file will have the reason for the failure and why the roll back was initiated.

Thanks,

Sathya.

I'm unable to find that txt file to see a reason as to why the patch has rolled back.

I hope you want to install OMSA v7.3.0.1 patch.

If you have already installed Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (32 bit), then use the patch executable OM_7301_Sysmgmtx86_Patch.msp. If you have already installed Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (64 bit), then use the patch executable OM_7301_Sysmgmtx64_Patch.msp.

Run the command one more time, "msiexec /update OM_7301_Sysmgmtx64_Patch.msp /L*v c:\temp\patchx64_log.txt" or "msiexec /update OM_7301_Sysmgmtx86_Patch.msp  /L*v c:\temp\patchx86_log.txt" based on which executable you want to run.

Please ensure you have the folder C:\temp existing in C drive before running these commands.

This way you will get the required log.

Thanks,

It worked for me! Thanks for the advice.

Good to know it worked for you.

Thanks,

Sathya.
