I am attempting to install Windows Admin Center 1809 on Server 1803. I ran under administrator context:

msiexec /I windowsAdminCenter1809.msi /qn /L*v log.txt SSL_CERTIFICATE_OPTION=generate

The error recorded in the log file was:

C:\Windows\Installer\MSI814D.tmp-\
SFXCA: Binding to CLR version v4.0.30319
Calling custom action Microsoft.ManagementExperience.Setup.CustomActions!Microsoft.ManagementExperience.Setup.CustomActions.CustomAction.GenerateSslCertificate

CustomAction GenerateSslCertificate returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

I then ran the msi interactive, selecting the same SSL generation and it worked. Any clues what I did wrong?
