Solving script problems

Try one or more of the following:

Check your script

Make sure you have included all the matching sections that are required by the options you selected. For more information on supported keys and their matching keys, see Script requirements.

Make sure network devices are working properly

The computers, printers, and network adapters must be plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet, turned on, and free from error states. Send a ping command to them to verify that they are on the network.

Check for software applications that are running on your computer

Software running in the background on your computer may interfere with the installation routine or the resources it requires.

Make sure your accounts have sufficient access rights

In Windows XP or later, you may need to obtain administrative privileges to perform the installation.

Check for software compatibility

Components that you are attempting to install must be compatible with the type of installation you are performing or with the operating system of the computer. For example, install scripts are compatible with Windows XP or later.

Note: If an install script provides a Microsoft error code number, then the corresponding Microsoft error code string automatically appears beside the number.
Use the log file to determine installation errors

The log file is created in the temporary directory of the computer where the install script was last run. This file can provide information about what failed during installation.
