This error can occur when the Microsoft .NET Framework Installer can't install and/or update your system. Possible causes include:

Damaged Windows file and folder permissions
Damaged Windows Registry key permissions
Damaged Microsoft .NET Framework installation

Solutions:

If error 1603 occurs while updating TurboTax, download and install a manual update.
If error 1603 occurs while installing TurboTax (or in other situations), it may be related to the .NET Framework. See Troubleshooting problems with the Microsoft .NET Framework for more help.

Note: We suggest using Windows Update to ensure that your operating system is up-to-date, as this may resolve error 1603.

I was able to do the R.22.0 update but then when I tried to open the program it said it had to update and then gave me the 1603 error again.

I found a way the patch worked, it makes no sense but I opened my browser in incognito mode. I clicked on manual patch, It opened a screen that said Turbo Tax updating. It finish and I got back into Turbo Tax. I got same message about updating failed but before it gave me an error message I clicked cancel. Then I was able to get into my Turbo Tax. I figured the update would show new date taxes are due but it does not. Still says April 15. Hope this helps.
