Fix for Intellipoint Disk Space and 1603 Error
How I Fixed My 1603 Error with Intellipoint 6.3 Mouse Software for Windows XP
The below is if you have tried the Windows Install Cleanup and other alternatives to fixing this problem.
Here we GO!!!!
1,) I loaded the following into the Registry, May elect to export a key to your desktop (any small key to your desktop for a template registry file). Edit the registry file by right clicking and selecting EDIT and delete the existing contents and paste the following into the file to be inserted into the registry.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
"Debug"=dword:00000007
The above key will create additional logs into your “TEMP” directory for researching and identifying the problem.
After editing save it then Double Click on it to insert the above into your registry.
If you do not know where your temp directory is located type the following
%TEMP% in the “RUN” box. <Click on START then RUN> or Hotkey <Windows Flag “R”> enter the %TEMP% command to display your specific temp directory.
2,) Attempt to Install the Intellipoint Mouse or Keyboard software whichever is giving you problems. The 1603 error should be generated or Disk Space error in the case of version 6.2.
3.) Go to your Temp directory there should be 3 to 4 logs generated. The Temp folder may be hidden so go to Explorer by right clicking on START and select Explore or Hotkey <Windows Flag letter “E”> and Unhide folder by selecting TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS>VIEW; Under the Hidden Folders box select “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
Once the logs are found open the logs using notepad or an editor of your choice. The errors generated will be at the end of the log in each instance. This is just so you get an idea of what the log generates and looks like.
4.) Perform a find for the following string in each of the logs until found. (Go to the toolbar under EDIT and then click on FIND paste the following string to find it (Without the quotes)).
"Source is invalid due to missing/inaccessible package"
In my case 4 logs where generated 2 had large amounts of data, I found the following in the second large log file.
MSI (s) (58:0C) [13:21:10:495]: Note: 1: 2203 2: F:\ipoint\Setup\IP53.msi 3: -2147287037
MSI (s) (58:0C) [13:21:10:495]: SOURCEMGMT: Source is invalid due to missing/inaccessible package.
MSI (s) (58:0C) [13:21:10:495]: Note: 1: 1706 2: -2147483647 3: IP53.msi
The line above the string is what we need to find. The directory of the invalid entry which is in the registry causing the error, In my case it is was the following invalid entry causing the install error “F:\ipoint\Setup\IP53.msi 3”. “F” is the drive letter of my CD-ROM your drive letter may be different
5,) Now we need to find this entry and any entry closely associated to it and remove it from the registry using a mask (F:\ipoint\Setup) of the invalid directory.
6.) Click on Start then Run or hotkey <Windows Flag “R”> and type in regedit. Collapse the entire hive so you only see My Computer and the 4 Hives and select My Computer to ensure the entire registry is searched.
7.) Under the tab EDIT select find and paste “F:\ipoint\Setup” and hit enter.
I deleted all accounts of the entry found. If it was a 1 to 2 line entry I deleted the entire key in the left pane. If the key had several entries under it I just deleted the F:\ipoint\Setup entry from the individual key in the right pane.
In my case the entry was found 3 times, after all of the F:\ipoint\Setup entries were deleted I closed the registry.
8.) I then installed the Mouse software for Intellipoint 6.3 Successfully,
No Reboot was Required period.
Hope this helps you all having issues.
I struggled for weeks until I found a solution by Googling for “intellipoint 1612 error” and put it in an easier format for myself.
