1603 is unfortunately not a lot of help. It seems to mean 'something went
wrong' but doesn't detail why.
Most msi type installers can write a log of what is going on I suggest you
try running it with whatever command line options are available to get it
to generate a log and look through that (probably from the bottom up -
there's often a lot of noise in msi logs).
Annoyingly a lot of installers still expect a GUI unless you explicitly
tell them not to use the GUI.
