Install AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
<clueless>
this is my second day of trying to get AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 installed on this machine. *sigh*

Are you installing from CD or from a network location. I typically had better luck copying the cd contents to a hard drive and install from there.

Mark,
1603 is one of the more broad error codes, and that can make it very frustrating to diagnose. It basically tells you that one of the various subs bombed out during the install process. If you contact support, they'll tell you to turn on verbose logging in the installer so you can see where it's failing.

Personally, I always found this had something to do with a .net issue of one form or another. Try seeing if there are any Windows Updates available, or perhaps even removing some that you have and letting C3D do the update that it wants first.
Sorry I don't have a better answer, but maybe something there can help.

After trying to install from DVD I went with the hard drive approach, like you I've had better luck with that type of install. Anyway, after you figure out where the files are suppose to go everything worked out fine.
I now have C3D '10 installed.
but ....

Sad story. This all happened a little more than a year ago.
Budget God(BG) calls my boss: we have some money left in the '08 budget do you want to get Mark a new PC since he didn't get one the last cycle?.
My boss(MB): hey Mark do you want a new PC?.
Me: heck yeah!!
MB: sure he'd like one.
BG: tell him to spec it out and send me the info.
MB: will do.
so I send the info over, BG hands it to IT for approval. some time later, IT approves and orders new PC. PC arrives, IT guy looks at it, "um you guys know this is a 64 bit machine right with Windows 7 x64?" other IT guy, "WHAT!! we don't support that". First IT guy puts it back in box.
Months later ...
MB calls IT: any word on the new PC we ordered?
IT guy: yeah it's here but we can't support it
MB: WHAT!! you approved it
IT guy: yeah but we can't support it.
Months later ...
IT guy calls MB: what do want to do with this PC?
MB: I'd like to use it!!
IT: we can put XP on it and let you have it
MB: that's better than it setting in your office collecting dust!!
IT: Okay, we'll get it out there to ya.
Months later new PC arrives w/ XP. <Mark shaking head>
