I know all of the support links send you to this community, but it only will get you feedback from other users. This problem will require the dreaded phone call to the real support line, which currently closed.

I saw someone a few days ago in the Facebook ProSeries group getting an error 1603 when trying to download install.  I told them to some here and post, but I never saw it, and they never updated their post over on FB either, so I dont know what happened.

@Orlando    who do we tag for installation issues?  Theres another recent post here with a different install error, appears completely different from this one though.

Unfortunately any error during installation in the 1600 range is most likely Microsoft Technology throwing a Microsoft Error for some Windows specific reason.  Those are tough to diagnose without getting on a machine.  Customer Support is best at diagnosing those, but there's a slim chance I can offer some suggestions if you'd prefer not to wait til Monday.

Can you post the contents of the most recently created file in C:\ProgramData\Intuit\ProSeries\Install\TY20\Logs (or email to proseries_engineering@intuit.com)? It will start with the date you ran the installer, so it will be something like this (click the Date modified column to sort by date):
