Checked this for reported version on Windows 10 (64-bit) following steps as mentioned in the description, but the error does not reproduce.

Error 1603 indicates that the installation fails to complete. In most cases installation post system restart has allowed successful installation. Suggsting submitter to check the provided options from following support page:
