Fix Error 1603 when you install QuickBooks Desktop

There are many causes to application not behaving as expected, there are of course networking errors. Networking connects devices all across the Internet and in immediate space around you.  Database issues are also caused by networking problems. there are occasion where applications that use databases simply don't install. The cause can be network or a simple compatibility not fully addressed by the software vendor, or the applications release was for up to a specific OS build number. An update on the client device has also been the cause of many application installation issues. A recent encounter with Intuit QuickBooks installation lead me to a solution not present in Intuit's Knowledgebase or forum support. The application installation error code was 1603. QuickBooks error 1603 is not uncommon, but the process to work around it as presented by Intuit support for QuickBooks error 1603 didn't solve it. Many were repetitive, understandable as to why, as that was the common process for solving multiple installation issues but was not successful for me. Those steps to resolve including downloading from Intuit an additional software troubleshooting component didn't resolve the QuickBooks desktop installation issue. In fact, the Intuit installation troubleshooting software also displayed an error. A unique discovery of a work around to QuickBooks error 1603 was found here. 

 

Verizon DSL Static IP 7500 Modem

At the end, after entering the IP address information and switching to bridged connection and bridged routing, enter the following URL to finalize the activation to the Internet and to get on the web if you're unable to connect.

This installation had Verizon model 6110f and model 7500 router modem shipped to the customer. Both models are not to be used. The modem that's supposed to be used is the the 7500 Verizon mode router because this customer has received a static ip address as part of their service.

So the VC1 configuration for static IP DSL service has to be configured from ppp (PPPoE) to bridged in order to have the static address applicable for the configuration. The ip address and gateway are supplied by Verizon. Just enter them as noted and then click apply. http://192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect.htm

To disable NAT on the 7500 DSL modem completely then you have to choose for the protocol Bridge from the drop menu and also choose bridge for Bridge Mode. The option for adding the public IP address provided by Verizon goes away. This option is for putting your own router/firewall in place behind the Verizon DSL modem instead of using the features provided by Verizon in the free modem/router. The public IP address that was provided by Verizon has to be placed on the WAN interface of your router/firewall. Once that's done, then go to the wireless configuration and disable wireless access. This is for security and because it wont work right in this bridged configuration.

Most routers and firewalls can be accessed remotely for configuration changes. desktops and servers are also remotely accessed for support. even if direct access is not available to the router or firewall, connection to the remote desktop or a server or desktop on the same or connected network enables administrators to update and change configurations of all devices.
