Can't install from Deployment image

[smathewson]

I have created a deployment image for MEP 2013from the Building Design suite 2013. However, when I try to install onto the client machines, it gets so far, then starts to "roll back" everything and then quits. I have tried several variations on the deployment but none seem to have any effect, and the same thing happens. We already have architecture 2013 installed - would this have any effect (have tried deployments both including and excluding architecture)?

what does the install log say?

there should have been one created when you created the deployment

The installation failed at MEP installation with 1603 error. Can you check if this solution works?
