Installing or upgrading View Composer fails with error: The wizard was interrupted before VMware View Composer could be completely installed (2017773)

Symptoms

  • Cannot install or upgrade View Composer
  • Installing or upgrading View Composer fails
  • You see the error:

    The wizard was interrupted before VMware View Composer could be completely installed

Cause

This issue occurs if the user account that is used to install View Composer is not the same as the account used to install vCenter Server and the user account does not have sufficient permissions to modify the MachineKeys directory.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, log in to the server with the account that was used to install vCenter Server and rerun the View Composer installer.

You can find the account used to install vCenter Server by checking the permissions on the C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys folder.
 
Note: If you see Error:28014 or Error:1603 during the View Composer installation, see Installing VMware View Composer fails with the error: Error: 28014 or 1603 (1026513).
