Vs Shell Installation Has Failed 1638

Posted on admin

Hi all,while installing the configuration manager clients on a system manually, we came across this ERROR:installation failed with error code 1603Do anyone has any idea how can this be resolved. Several posts suggest its a problem related to client push installation method, but since I am installing the configuration manager clients manually, so I mush not be affected by anything related to Client Push Installation. However, be noted that client push installation is well configured on the server, there are certain computers where the client is not getting installed so we are installing the clients MANUALLY to those systems,Any help and suggestions would be higly appreciated.Regards,Naveed. I have also recived this error message.The server started as an SMS 2003 server with SQL 2005. I ran an inplace upgrade to SCCM and installed WSUS.A few weeks later I installed SP1 and then started to recieve this error on the Primary Site server and it occurs when SCCM attempts to upgrade the SCCM server's client.I have removed the SCCM Management Point and reinstalled it but that did not help. The 2 errors that are recorded in the CCMsetup.log are:An older version of the SMS Management Point is installed. Please upgrade the Management Point before attempting to upgrade the client.installation failed with error code 1603I have also seen the SMS service account being locked out recently, I have just reset the password on the various client services within the SCCM management console to see if that will help.

Shell

The problem is that Visual Studio 2017 installs the Microsoft Visual C 2017 Redistributable (x86) and (x64) and the SQL Server installation tries to install the Microsoft Visual C 2015 Redistributables, which it can't because the SQL Server installation doesn't allow you to install an older version with the newer version installed.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this error: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Setup-The following error has occurred:VS Shell installation has failed with exit code 1638.For help, click: is a new laptop running. SQL Server 2016 express. Visual Studio 2017. SSMS 2017I tried uninstalling anything related to SQL Server or Visual Studio.Log: 3500:39702017-11-03T16:25:20e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed. I experienced this problem as well with SQL Server 2017 Developer and it appears to be just bad planning on the part of the SQL Server installation package people. In my case, other software installed had interfered with the 2015 runtime installation. The bottom line is that I had to get the 64 bit version of 2015 Microsoft Visual C redistributables installed before SQL Server install.

By doing that manually, I got better diagnostics than when the SQL Server installation was installing it. Once the 2015 64 bit redistributables were installed, SQL Server installation completed. Use the Add/Remove Programs in Windows to see which versions are installed.–Jul 31 '18 at 22:04.
