Hi,
I crashed an Exchange 2013 Installation on Server 2012 R2 while installing the CU11. It stopped during step 3 with a fatal error, code 1603. I can repeat this error when trying to install it again. The Services are disabled now, and I'm unsure about the
versions of the binaries.
As far as I could Google for it, the 1603 is a generic MSI Installation error code. I am not able to get more details for it. The last lines of the Setup log from the installer are:

the ExchangeSetup.msilog has not more than a begin and end time stamp.
How can I get an idea what's going wrong?
