Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center Install Error 1603

[raya2]

I have a Microsoft "IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0" mouse. I searched for this device at microsoft's websites & downloaded it's software driver called "Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center 1.0" about 1 year ago & then installed it.

Recently I found out that there is a new version (2.1) available for download. I download it & tried to install. But each time I tried, it gave me the following error & asked me to restart & try again. I restarted & tried again & again (even in safe mode), but the same error occured again & again. I even can't uninstall the old driver. So any help here is very appreciate

OS: Windows 7 SP1 x86



The error:

Setup must close because an error occurred. Verify that your computer meets the system requirements on the product packaging. Restart your computer and try running Setup again. If this error happens again, see Help for customer support options. (Error code 1603)

If a update is needed for your Microsoft mouse/keyboard your Windows Updates should of offered it to you.

Are you having a problem with your mouse and or keyboard?

This refers to an older version of the app, but the error code is the same:

Troubleshoot installing Intellipoint, IntelliType, or LifeCam software

I'd personally start with just running it as Admin (r-click on the setup.exe and select Run As Administrator)

Ok. I attached the screenshot.

The windows updates also offered me the same update but It gave me the same error during the install.

There are two reasons that I want to update this driver:

1- Updating the drivers always is good & give you more options & advantages for your hardware.

2- Recently & sometimes my "IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0" mouse's left click mouse is acting too fast. for example even with a little pressure of finger, It reacts & opens or close things unwantedly...

This refers to an older version of the app, but the error code is the same:

I'd personally start with just running it as Admin (r-click on the setup.exe and select Run As Administrator)

None of those instructions helped me out. And I laso tried the admin trick before.

I would suggest you try another mouse.
The very sensitive to the touch left click is probably the mouse button not the drivers or program.
Have you been in your mouse setting and made adjustment that you like?

Changing the mouse is not a solution but is an escape from the problem (Now I am using a different mouse)

I don't think that this problem is related to sensitivity of left click, because this problem doesn't occur everytime. I think it is driver related.
And the mouse setting of "Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center 1.0" don't have any section for changing any adjustment in speed (It only can change the buttons of the mouse)

 

[Layback Bear]

Let me make sure I understand you.
You changed the mouse and the problem went away but its not the old mouse causing the problem.
Is that correct?

You can adjust the pointer speed etc with the windows mouse control panel.

This problem is only about Microsoft "IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0" mouse. I am using A4tech mouse right now & don't have this problem.

I don't have any Intellipoint and Intellitype software installed. I only have MS Mouse and Keyboard Center Ver 1.0 installed that can't be updated or uninstalled... (This is a bad situation: No Update & No Uninstall )

The uninstall should be in your control panel under programs & features,

Did you really read my answers in the last post or even the first post of the topic?!

I can't uninstall or reinstall MS Mouse and Keyboard Center Ver 1.0 because when trying to uninstall, It gives me the same error that I post in the first post...

Yeah I read your post. I guess you are stuck with that piece of crap from now on. Nothing is impossible to uninstall if one really wants to uninstall it. Figure it out.

Yes, Nothing is impossible to uninstall But I came here So others could help me to figure it out how!
(Like I said, even "safe mode" didn't help)

Various Programs

There are programs that will uninstall "stubs" or bad installations. Some are free and some are not. Here is a link to a free cleaner for failed installs (your present mouse ware fits this). You might try this if you like but heed the caution about backups.

Download Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 2.5.0.1 Free - Remove Windows Installer configuration information on failed installs - Softpedia

A restore point would also be a good idea.

Thanks for this little software; But unfortunately this either didn't help me. I removed the "MS Mouse and Keyboard Center Ver 1.0" from it's list But "MS Mouse and Keyboard Center Ver 1.0" still exists in the "programs and features" at "control panel".

There is a program called Final Uninstaller that will remove any and all left over apps. It scans for them. It takes awhile but it does work.

Thank you both But none of softwares that you have suggested, have "MS Mouse and Keyboard Center" in their list.

I used another software named "your uninstaller" & It could uninstall "MS Mouse and Keyboard Center". I prefer to uninstall it with a proper way not with pressure :huh:

Anyway I don't know If it is possible to install the newer version or not! --> "MS Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.1"?

But not going to check that soon because nonce I am happy with A4tech mouse...
