Error 1603 & 1708 installing InstallShield MSI silently
I'm installing Blackberry Desktop 4.0.1.10 (4.0 SP1) using Setup.exe and Setup.ini. If I run the install manually and step through the screens with the default settings, it installs successfully and reports that in the Application log. If I run it with a Setup.exe /s, everything appears to install, but the MSI log and application log report that setup failed. Below is an excerpt from the verbose log (I've bolded what appears to be the problem):
Action ended 16:41:33: ISSetupFilesCleanup. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (24:44): Skipping action: RIM_InstallShellFolderUpdate (condition is false)

At the end of the log:
=== Logging stopped: 7/21/2005 16:41:34 ===

MSI (c) (2C:34): Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1
MSI (c) (2C:34): MainEngineThread is returning 1603
=== Verbose logging stopped: 7/21/2005 16:41:34 ===
I need to push this out through SMS and don't want to push it with a log reporting failure. Anyone else encounter a similar problem? Again, everything works and the log reports success if run manually, it's logging failure only when I try running it with a /s. Thanks for any input.

I encountered the exact same problem.
I ended up applying an MST so that the return code of this custom action is ignored and the whole install returns successful.

Does anybody have an insight as to why this is happening? What is causing the application to return 1708?

I was having the same problem and I found a solution from the BlackBerry site:
http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/8021/728075/728944/728556/Known_Issues_-_Failed_to_Initialize_script_support_and_unable_to_delete_registry_key_during_cleanup.html?nodeid=1106182&vernum=3
In a nutshell, the support people tell you to open their main installation MSI file (I used Wise Package Studio) and edit the custom action RIM_DeleteConnInstallCfgPath, change the value from 1 to 65. Save your MSI file and do your silent install. The Event Viewer Application log now shows Blackberry 4.0.1 installation completed successfully.
Hope this helps everyone.
