Error 1603: Fatal error during installation
Resolution
Resolution 1
- Stop the World Wide Web Publishing service.
- Stop all StoreFront related services.
- Delete any sub folders under “C:\Program Data\Citrix\Storefront Install”.
- Open C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\Services\ProtocolTransitionService\Citrix.DeliveryServices.ProtocolTransition.ServiceHost.exe.config and within the .config file, change all lines where "Version=3.0.1.0" states to "Version=3.5.0.0".
Save the config file and then run the Storefront 3.5 installation executable as an administrator.
Resolution 2
- Stop the World Wide Web Publishing service.
- Stop all StoreFront related services.
- Move the CtxsWebProxyIconCache from c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\StorenameWeb\App_Data\CtxsWebProxyIconCache\ to the root of C: and rename the c:\ProgramData\Citrix\Storefront Install\3.0.0.44 folder.
- Run the Storefront 3.5 installation executable as an administrator.
Notes:
- The CtxsWebProxyIconCache is only an icon cache and gets recreated when a user logs into StoreFront.
- If you have multiple servers in the Storefront deployment, you will need to do this on all of the machines.
Resolution 3
-
Look for the following lines:
<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false" />
</runtime>
-
Remove the preceding lines from the following files. Ensure to back up the files before making any changes.
C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver Storefront\ClusterManagement\Feature.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AGServices\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\Authentication\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\xxxxxxStore\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\Roaming\web.config
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\PNAgent\web.config
-
Reboot the server and run the StoreFront 3.5 installation executable as an administrator.
Problem Cause
The files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\Storename\App_Data\CtxsWebProxyIconCache\ end up having a fully qualified file name of greater than 260 when copied to c:\ProgramData\Citrix\Storefront Install\3.0.0.44\Instances\InstanceId\App_Data\CtxsWebProxyIconCache which happens during the upgrade process.
