  1. That's not the important part of the log, only the result. I've seen several older sites where bgbisap.msi fails to install because the MSI custom action to check for free filespace fails. Funnily enough it's a check for 10MB of free space 😂 it's a custom action though so pretty sure the product team has a bug here bug our Premier Support tickets with Microsoft for this issue were all closed with "we've informed the product group and they will fix it". Seen it first in 2019 or so. Still in. Sadly I haven't found a better way to deal with it - frankyl I didn't want to investigate any further - except this dirty workaround: 1. make a backup of bgbisapi.msi 2. uninstall bgbisapi.msi by using "msiexec /x bgbisapi.msi" (sadly, I've found that uninstallation through the regular product code does not work for bgbisapi.msi ) this is to ensure there's no copy of the msi in the Windows Installer Cache 3. use InstEd! or Orca (if you're that old 😂 ) and remove the CustomAction that does the free disk space check (I think it's called CcmCheckFreeDiskSpace or something like that. Had to do that just last week on a 2107 site) 4. save the changed MSI (and close it in InstEd, otherwise it's still in use) and run a regular "msiexec /i bgbisapi.msi" 5. you might receive the Windows Installer popup that tells you the setup needs the source directory for bgbisapi.msi but it won't accept the \bin\x64 folder where bgbisapi.msi is located in. This is strange, right? Right. Click Cancel and the setup will complete successfully anyway 😂 the MSI build process that the product team uses for bgbisapi.msi is so borked... Now restart your component manager (if you don't want to wait) and have a look at \logs\BgbSetup.log Give it a few minutes and you should see that the installation of bgbisapi.msi is started again but this time with a whole bunch of additional parameters reflecting your configmgr environment (IIS location etc) and the setup should run through fine.
