    Hi, This is Ramesh.

    The error codes 2502 and 2503 could a permissions issue.

    Please open an administrator command prompt window and manually launch the GS Pro setup using msiexec.exe.

    Here's the command-line syntax.

    msiexec.exe /i “drive:\path\filename.msi”
    

    (Replace the driveletter, path and file name placeholders with the actual file path.)


    If this does not help, check the permissions of the temporary folder. To do this, open a command prompt and execute the following command:

    icacls c:\windows\installer
    
    icacls "%temp%"
    
    icacls c:\windows\temp
    

    Copy the output and post it here. You can also post a screenshot of the output window showing the output of all three commands.
