Hi all,

I've got a user experiencing an error trying to install Informix CSDK 3.50
silently on Windows Server 2008 version 6.0.6006 with the server locale
set to Italian. I would appreciate any information anyone has about how
to resolve this.

It's a default install and the command used to install is:

msiexec /i "IBM Informix Client-SDK.msi" /qn /L Informix_CSDK_install.log

The error in the log is as follows (for non-Italian speakers "Impossibile
trovare il percorso" means "Can not find path"):

Action start 12.32.49: VBCopyICClib32.
MSI (s) (90:24) [12:32:50:220]: Product: IBM Informix Client-SDK 3.50 --

I tried running the install with more verbose logging enabled using /L*v
but still can't see anything particularly useful in the log apart from the
following error code perhaps?

MSI (s) (90:48) [12:32:50:733]: Product: IBM Informix Client-SDK 3.50 --
Installation operation failed.

prodotto completata. Nome prodotto: IBM Informix Client-SDK 3.50. Versione
prodotto: 3.50. Lingua prodotto: 1033. Installazione riuscita o stato di
errore: 1603.

The log is about 4Mb in size so I might have missed something.

Thanks and regards,

Stuart Brooks
