Installation of Google Sitemap Generator fails on Windows 2008R2 with Error 1603
Wed, Sep 21, 2011I was attempting to install the Google Sitemap Generator on my new 2008R2 server to match the configuration of some 2008 machines I was migrating away from. Unfortunately, I got an error saying that a piece of software in the installation failed to install, and error 1603 is stored in the application event log.
In this case, I set the compatibility mode to “previous versions of windows” and reinstalled. The software installed fine.
