First thing to check, in the VS install log, look for the installer trying to add SYSTEM as a member of the performance log users. It will fail and crash with msi error 1603.
It is a know issue. This is the workaround I used : http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2014/11/11/sccm-2012-r2-visual-studio-2013/ De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Daniel Ratliff Envoyé : 25 novembre 2014 12:52 À : [email protected] Objet : [mssms] RE: Deploying Visual Studio 2013 - error 1603 1603 is fatal error from the MSI. What does your install log show? I think with VS it's a bunch of HTML logs in Program Files?

The program partially installs, but will not run. I have .NET 4.5.1 as a dependency, it installs fine. Below is my script that executes the install: @echo off :set location set loc=%~dp0 :install "%loc%vs_premium.exe" /adminfile "%loc%AdminDeployment.xml" /quiet /norestart If I run vs_premium.exe /adminfile AdminDeployment.xml /quiet /norestart locally from an admin command prompt (inside the source folder, natch), it installs fine. My Googling has found many possibilities, but they don't seem to match what I'm experiencing. Any ideas?
