Silverlight plugin won't install: error 1603... disable your antivirus
I could not install MS Silverlight. I had to turn off my antivirus and try again and then it worked.
When I tried to install Silverlight it got to 99% complete then I got a generic error 1603 "installation failed" message that was no help. The silverlightMSI file in %temp% (run from command line) shows a 1406 error code because the installer was unable to modify a registry key for Firefox (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@Microsoft.com/NpCtrl,version=1.0). I do have admin rights for my account but my stupid McAfee antivirus blocked the installer from modifying the key.

1603 is a "Fatal Error"
Have a look at these two links to see if they are any help
I scanned both URLs using Virus Total and they are indicated as 100% clean.
