Description

Error Message

Cause

There could be multiple reasons for Final error: 0x643 - Fatal error during installation error and we need to refer install log file (C:\ProgramData\Veritas\Backup Exec\Logs\RAWSINST21.HTM) on the remote machine to find the exact cause.

If the install log has the following lines “The return value for Microsoft VC++ Redistributables (x86) returned error code: 1603”, it means the remote install of VC 2019 32 bit is failing on the Windows 8 (32bit) machine.

Resolution

Workaround:

1. Install RAWS using local install 
2. Install VC 2019 x86 runtime manually and then retry push install
