msodbcsql - unknown package

[tobwen]

## tl;dr For about two weeks, I'm getting this error on two machines after installation is done:

Package: Unknown package
	msodbcsql.bat exit code 1603

ogr2ogr also chokes on this:

ERROR 1: Can't load requested DLL: C:\OSGEO4~1\bin\gdalplugins\ogr_MSSQLSpatial.dll
126: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

Anything in var/log/setup.log{,.full}? Try installing {{bin\msodbcsql.msi}} manually to see what errors appear.

I tried

msiexec /i "C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\msodbcsql.msi" /qn IACCEPTSQLNCLILICENSETERMS=YES /log logfile.txt

and got this log: ​https://bpa.st/raw/FFJA (I'll append a file if it works this time)

Seems like it's a rights problem?

I'm running the OSGeo4W installer as admin, of course (using UAC)

Hi guys, I had the same problem. I did e fresh install with OSGeo4W64 using UAC and the log showed:

2020/11/11 09:34:46 running: cmd.exe /c "C:\OSGeo4W64\\etc\postinstall\msodbcsql.bat"
2020/11/11 09:34:47 abnormal exit: exit code=1603

I had as well the same issue in the commandline of osgeo shell-

I went to the bin folder and did a manual install of msi (right-click open as administrator) and the problem was solved.

If I try to install using the msiexec method I have the same problem of tobwen.

I did a quick search about exit code=1603 and can be about permissions or corrupted .msi
