Hi,

While trying to install Splunk UF in Windows Server 2022 to send logs to Splunk Cloud Instance, we encounter this Universal forwarder setup wizard ended prematurely Error.

Back from server. Return value: 1603

This value is returned which was found in the msi logs.

What could be the issue of this error?
