I have just bought this today. Vegas 10 installed OK. But the istallation of DVD architect 5.0 fails with an error:1603.
Is this me or is there a fault? what can I do please?
I have tried a different HDD - same
I am XP SP3 4gb Ram, lots of Gigs on drive spare (130+)
I had an installation error when the MS support files were being dl'd.
It was a 1601 error. My software seemed okay as I have a new start icon for it, but it is not taking my serial numbers for DVD A 5.0.
Then it said to use the phone purchase option and put the serial numbers in there and the program still did not take the serial numbers. Then it said I should call Sony support numbers.
error 1601 info: The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Contact your support personnel to verify that the Windows Installer service is properly registered.
Well I do have a valid copy of win XP not sure what is going on. I researched this message on Google btw.
For the 1603 code it just said "A fatal error occurred during installation."
