Another google: this time for the Hresult bit of the error code. This link turned up.

In summary, create a new Windows administrator account, login to the new account, install MSN, logout and login as yourself.

No idea if it works though...

Hello,

Thank you for writing to MSN Messenger Service.

I am addressing your concern in receiving the 1603 error message when trying to
download MSN Messenger.

messages: "MSN Messenger setup has failed. Error code: 1601," "MSN Messenger
setup has failed. Error code: 1603," "MSN Messenger setup has failed. Error
code: 1613."
You may receive these messages if the Windows Installer files did not update.
To resolve the issue, try the following:

1. If you tried to upgrade by clicking the There is a new Messenger available,
would you like to upgrade now? message: a. Close all applications and restart
the computer.
