  You should also uninstall the Microsoft C++ Redistributals and reinstall them again.

You might want to read this to help understand what code 1603 means. If from AMD Support: Error 1603 – A General Error Has Occurred During the Installation of the AMD Software Package

First make complete sure your Windows Operating System is completely updated thru Windows Update. Your fully updated when you get a message saying there are no more updates. The latest AMD drivers won't work if Windows is not fully updated.

Second: Run SFC /scannow. wait til it finishes. This checks and corrects any corrupted or missing core Window files.

Third: Uninstall any third party Overclocking software similar to MSI Afterburner.

Fourth: temporarily disable your Anti-Virus program before installing the FULL set of AMD drivers that you downloaded from AMD Support.

If you have something like CCleaner or Wise registry cleaner, you may want to run it to clean out your registry.

Before doing any new installation of AMD driver set, Use Windows Control Panel- Uninstall to remove the partial installation of the AMD driver software. Then use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in SAFE mode and select AMD to remove all traces of the bad installation. reboot and do the above mentioned and try reinstalling your drivers again.
