Hello! My name is Renzo, and welcome to the Microsoft Community.
This error can be caused by a variety of factors, such as conflicts with other software, corrupt system files, or issues with the Windows Installer service itself.
Here are some steps you can follow to fix Error 1648:
- Restart the Windows Installer
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box > type services.msc and press Enter
- Right-click on Windows Installer and select Restart. If Restart is grayed out, you can select Start to start the service if it isn’t running
- Clear the Windows Installer Cache
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator then type the command below one by one
net stop msiserver
del %windir%\Installer\*.log
net start msiserver
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Once these processes are complete, restart your computer and try the installation again.
If you follow these steps and the issue persists, let me know.
