I got same 1603 issue during installation of SQL Search. Nothing above helped me. The only workaround that worked for me was kill installation before it rollback the changes (please consider this workaround only if you have no other choice). Workaround Steps:
Restart Windows
Start installation and confirm that it is still failing with 'Failing to start service' error message.
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
Start installation again and wait till you see message "Starting service".
In Task Manager find 'SQL Search' installation task and kill it.
If you would be fast enough and kill task before rollback, you will have 'SQL Search' in your Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. / comments
