According to eHow.com,

"Fatal error 1603 is another Windows Installer error that plagues TurboTax software installations. The error is caused by the anti-virus software, firewall or backup program on your computer. The problem can be overcome by logging into the system as an Administrator, which overrides the anti-virus or firewall features and allows you to install the software. Not having space available for TurboTax on your hard drive can also cause this type of fatal error. Deleting items on your hard drive to free up space can fix the problem"
