1603 Fatal error

Hi gang. my HP Update lights every time, it tries to install "HP Active Support Library" (sp41377), after he began downloading, a window appears halfway through saying "Error 1316", and when I get rid of this window, another Red appears saying 'error 1603 Fatal error'. " This has happened for months. I have a Compaq SR5505F with 3 GB of ram, running Vista Home Premium. Thanks for any advice.

I suggest deleting or disabling the HP updates and Total Care Advisor. Updated HP plaguing many users. He has downloaded and installed incorrect updates BIOs leaving their pc of unnecessary.

Use Windows Update & support for the drivers page for your pc. In this way, you can install them and see what your really installation.

If you are looking for HP support forums, you'll see what I'm telling you about problems with the HP update.

  • Error:-1603 Fatal error during installation

    program

    and what is a 1603 Fatal error Setup error

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    1. click on start, run, typeregedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

    2. look for the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    886549 KBhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point tonew, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, clickchange, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then clickOK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

    Good luck.
