Recently upgraded to SP2 on a seconary site. The upgrade appears to have been successful. Then, the Proxy Management point started failing. I went in and removed the Management Point and the SCCM Client and then rebooted. I then tried to reinstall the MP, but it fails to install. MPSETUP gives the dreaded 1603 error. I sent in to the MPMSI.log and found nothing out of the ordinary ecxpet this:Property(S): SmsDetectColocationDowngrade_ErrorMessage = A newer version of the Configuration Manager Client is installed. Cannot continue installing this version of the management point.I went and installed the SP2 client, and it installed fine. I then tried the MP install again, and it fails with the same error. Any Assistance is greatly appriciated.Hold your breath, I'll be right back.

Hi,Try to remove the configmgr. client installed on the MP, then reinstall the MP (and the client after that).Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/members/Agerlund/default.aspx | The Danish community for System Center products

Hi, Please uninstall the client first, then re-install the MP on the secondary site.

Removed client, installation still failed with the same error. Reinstalled client, same result. Hold your breath, I'll be right back.

In the mp.msi.log, can you search for "value 3" to see whether you can find any other error?Thanks,Minh.Minh

Yes, found this above Value 3 in MPMSI.log.[3:07:23] Ignoring removal of Application "SMS Management Point" as it does not exist[3:07:23] Creating IIS Virtual Directory 'CCM_CLIENT'[3:07:23] Created IIS virtual directory 'CCM_CLIENT'[3:07:23] Creating IIS Virtual Directory 'CCM_Incoming'[3:07:23] ERROR: Method 'AppCreate2' failed with error code 80020009[3:07:23] ERROR: Automation Exception invoking method "AppCreate2"[3:07:23] ERROR: Automation Exception Source is "<null>"[3:07:23] ERROR: Automation Exception Description is "<null>"[3:07:23] ERROR: Automation Exception wCode is 0[3:07:23] ERROR: Automation Exception sCode is 0x80040154[3:07:23] ERROR: Failed to create virtual directory application[3:07:23] @@ERR:25006MSI (s) (E8!38) [03:07:23:517]: Product: SMS Management Point -- Error 25006.

Reran the MP setup and still got the same. The thing is that the virtual directory is getting created, as after this failure I sent and double checked and the directory was there.Hold your breath, I'll be right back.

Property(S): SmsDetectColocationDowngrade_ErrorMessage = A newer version of the Configuration Manager Client is installed. Cannot continue installing this version of the management point. That's just a property listing and has nothing to do with an actual error. You can safely ignore that line (and every other line starting with "Property(S)". Try stopping the task scheduler server, rename %windir%\Tasks, start the service and try installing the MP again.

By seeing log, looks like it is unable to create application pools in IIS while installing MP , is IIS healthy on this server?

Should be. when I run the install, it actualy does create the virtual directory, but still fails with the above error.Hold your breath, I'll be right back.
