I'm pretty sure Octopus (being someone who has not actually used it) has an option to enable MSI logging. You received the generic "installation failed" error result. You will need to look at the MSI logging to determine the reason for the error.
The "Failed to create web application" message has an error code of 0x80070057="The parameter is incorrect." It would be useful to know of the differences between the 2003 server targeted by Octopus and the one you tested directly, especially as regards any already existing web applications/contents of those applications in IIS. -----Original Message----- From: Sandeep Kumar Bushnam (Wipro Ltd.)

(-2147024809) Hi Team, My MSI creates a virtual directory under a default website and creates a new web application under existing App pool(this case DefaultAppPool). Which is working fine on windows 2003 OS. When I install the same MSI using Microsoft Octopus from Win7 onto windows 2003 server the installer throws below error. [ERROR] ROMDVWEBV01 : Installers\ROMBSCallBack\ROMBSCallBack.msi: Failed to create web application. (-2147024809 /Root/ROMBSCALLBACK ) [ERROR] ROMDVWEBV01 : Installers\ROMBSCallBack\ROMBSCallBack.msi: Error Code 1603: Fatal error during installation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070643) [ERROR] Error occurred. Waiting for all active server executors to finish current task Any help is highly appreciated.
