Can you provide more detail? Set the deployment so that it is not silent and upload screen shots of any errors displayed. Also upload the Inventor2011Install.log form the temp folder. You can find it in the temp folder by typing %TEMP% in the Address bar of Windows Explorer.

Try these common 1603 solutions:

     1. Microsoft Installer documentation lists that the 1603 indicates a resource needed by the installer is in use by another process. Often a reboot will stop this. Quitting background applications during the installation of an application is a best practice.

     2. Bad media, dirty lens, bad optical drive or bad optical drive drivers can all cause this. If you downloaded the 2010 or 2011 product and it extracted to the C:\Autodesk (or your designated) folder. This should not be the case. You can restart the installer from the Setup.exe without need to re-extract the installer from the download. If you are trying to install from the DVD copy the contents to a temp folder on the local hard drive. If there are several disks start with the first disk then copy additional disks, in order, into the same location and overwrite any files if asked.

     3. Permissions are sometimes associated with this error. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 try disabling UAC. Make sure you are a Local Administrator. Sometimes a Domain Admin needs to be added to the local Administrators group. Right-clicking the setup.exe and choosing to Run as Administrator may be necessary as well.
