What is error 1603 trying to tell me?

Question

Answer

Error:
1: Event 'E3250601' is created
1: GetInstallDriver, Can not find InstallDriver in ROT table, Return code = 0x800401e3
1: [GUID]
1: ISMsiServerStartup Failure, Failed to create InstallDriver, Error = 0x8000401a Action ended  ISMsiServerStartup. Return Value 1603
This error is a pain, because you see little to no detail in the event log. This error is telling you that the local system (or current account) does not have access to launch DCOM. Particularly if you are using Group Policy to deploy the MSI, this appears because it is the local system account that initiates action before any user is logged on. In doing so, Windows Installer launches the InstallScript DCOM engine as user "interactive user" and generates this failure. 
To resolve this problem you may use C:\WINDOWS\system32\DCOMCNFG.EXE to change the launch identity of "InstallShield InstallDriver" and "InstallShield InstallDriver String Table" to "Launching user".
