1603 is fatal error from the MSI.

What does your install log show? I think with VS it's a bunch of HTML logs in 
Program Files?

Subject: [mssms] Deploying Visual Studio 2013 - error 1603

When I try to silently deploy VS Premium 2013, I get "unmatched exit code 1603" 
in AppEnforce.log. The program partially installs, but will not run. I have 
.NET 4.5.1 as a dependency, it installs fine. Below is my script that executes 
the install:

@echo off

:set location
set loc=%~dp0

:install
"%loc%vs_premium.exe" /adminfile "%loc%AdminDeployment.xml" /quiet /norestart


If I run vs_premium.exe /adminfile AdminDeployment.xml /quiet /norestart 
locally from an admin command prompt (inside the source folder, natch), it 
installs fine. My Googling has found many possibilities, but they don't seem to 
match what I'm experiencing. Any ideas?
