What does Error -1003 Mean?
I have a G3 PowerMac with Netscape 4.7 Communicator. I wanted to upgrade to Netscape 7.01 and downloaded it; when I initiated the installation protocol I received message "Installation failed due to error; -1003 " . Do I have to take the Mac in for expert assistance, or can someone suggest a remedy I can do?

<strong>What OS are you using ?</strong><hr></blockquote>
OS 9.1
For the record, Netscape lists the following requirements:
Operating System
Mac OS 8.6, 9.x (9.1 and later recommended)
Mac OS X (10.1.x recommended)
Mac OS 10.2
Minimum Hardware
PowerPC 604e 266 MHz
G3, G4, 64 MB RAM
72 MB hard drive space
Maybe the installer file was corrupted during download, ...
<strong>Have you inspected the read me file included with the installer? Have you seen to the fact that all the requirements are met? (I imagine Netscape 7 would desire a good amount of RAM, of Hard Disk space, of processor power, ...) Are other applications running?

I still wonder what "error- 1003" means and whether it will help to know.
I can find many (all?) errors on <a href="http://www.appleerrorcodes.com/" target="_blank">this page</a> but not the one you're after. Maybe this page lists only older errors (that have been around since OS 7). I'll have a furthere look.
[QB]Well, apparently, there is little information on what that error code is. Are you sure it is -1003? Not, say, -103, or -1030?

Dear Kopf,
I wrote it down and got the same number again. I do appreciate your effort. I also had looked up the number on the Apple site. Thank you for helping.
L, still Wandering
<strong>I was thinking, isn't Netscape using a Java front end these days? That might cause some problems if you don't have the latest Java runtime engine. Maybe you should try installing this[/URL] first. I don't know, I'm just trying.</strong><hr></blockquote>

This is wandering L. I discussed my problem locally, and was advised to try an Explorer browser, which was available to me. I do not need to upgrade it, so I will try it to connect with the website/program that my Netscape was inadequate for. I thank you, particularly der Kopf, for draying (drehen) it over my problem.
