SI 2015 Install Error 1603

2015-08-19 Thread Marc Brinkley
Hey everyone I am getting the dreaded 1603 error when I am installing SI 2015. I think I have tracked it down to this. CustomAction SIRunonceRunReg returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Any ideas on how I get past this?
