    Error Code 2503 when trying to install programs via msi


    Hello,Every time I try to install a program that uses MSI for installation, I this error message: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2503". Initially, I thought it was just a corrupted file, but after getting the same error message trying to install multiple programs, I realized it was a global issue.

    Installation internal errors 2503 and 2502

    On Windows XP Pro SP2, when I try to install *anything* I get internal error 2503, click ok to acknowledge, immediately get internal error 2502, click ok, and machine aborts the installation.

    Thanks Laney

    Unable to install or Uninstall programs, Error codes: 2502 and 2503.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 that was upgraded from Win 8.x to Win 10 right after I purchased it. I am currently running Win 10 64bit. If I try to uninstall a program like Nero 2016 or install some other program I get an error 2503 and error 2502. Some programs
    I am able to install some not. I made sure I was running in Admin mode and I followed numerous suggestions of checking processes to see what was enabled etc but I still have the problem. Is reimaging my only option?

    Mysterious 2502 2503 errors when trying to install updates to programs


    I began to run out of ideas, sorry to say so.

    What if you run the MSI installer as admin? Left click to select the installer and press the combinations of Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys.

    How about re-register the Windows Installer? Win + X, choose Command Prompt (Admin), type in the commands as described in the following short article:

    How to unregister and then reregister Windows Installer

    What is your drive permissions? Refer below:

    Honestly, I can't figure out why is your system become so restrictive.
