Visual Studio patch is getting failed with exit code 8010 and 1003

Visual Studio patch is getting failed with exit code 8010 and 1003 this is new error code Do we have any idea about this error code


Please note that the exit codes are almost always codes kicked back from the MSI installer. MSI Error 8010 usually indicates a file permission issue. Since BigFix runs as the system user, it is unlikely a permissions issue, however an A/V product could be blocking access to execute the updater.

I recommend trying to run the updater on the system itself and see what error you receive when you do that.

Do we have link for this error code ? Please share with me

That came from my own personal list I have compiled over the last 25 years.

I would try googling “MSI ERROR” 8010 1003 Visual Studio

What error do you get when you try and manually install the patch?

We will coordinate with customer for downtime after that i will inform you

A link to Win32 error codes - [MS-ERREF]: Win32 Error Codes | Microsoft Learn

Error 8010 = hex 1F4A

Error 1003 = hex 03EB

Not all that helpful on their own but as @D.Dean suggested Googling those errors may help further
