Russ-
Since error 1603 is pretty generic ("a fatal error occurred"), you might try enabling verbose MSI logging to see what the package is actually doing. If you haven't already done that, you can find it as an Admin Template policy under Computer Configuration|Admin Templates|Windows Components|Windows Installer|Logging.

That log may help pinpoint where the fun is happening.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Software GPO still not working

Help, I'm still having issues with this.  I have a computer based GPO that was working and suddenly broke.  I have not gotten it fixed STILL. 

The .MSI is on a DFS share so that each site pulls the package down from a local fileserver.  I've checked permissions and all seems to be OK there.  Manually running the MSI works as advertised.
 
Here's my appmgmt.log:
