Doing a manual update for TurboTax Desktop should resolve Microsoft Installer Error:1603.

Please follow the directions in this TurboTax Help Article: Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software

I am using TT desktop and getting the same error 1603. Manual update didn't work.

Thank you.

You need to clear your Cache and Cookies before doing the manual update.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, the error message I am getting is: Microsoft Installer error 2725.

Thanks again for your help!
