SCCM 2012 Client.msi Fails

Question

I am able to install the SCCM client on many machines, but two machines are failing.  First I looked in ccmsetup.log:
<![LOG[File C:\Windows\ccmsetup\{59A0EA77-D28C-4286-83A6-04BB57B9CDD6}\client.msi installation failed. Error text: ExitCode: 1603
Action:
ErrorMessages:
]LOG]!><time="16:25:20.476+00" date="03-16-2013" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="3" thread="1512" file="msiutil.cpp:860">

Then i looked at client.msi.log for more detail, and searced for "return value 3".  This log file is hug so i included an excerpt from it.  Let me know where to look in the log file for more descriptive text.

[15:43:48] Removing windows task 'Configuration Manager Idle Detection'
From successfully installation i typically see folders created in C:\Windows\CCM\* but in this particular case there are only a couple .tmp files and other misc.  Where should i look next?  I have tried ccmsetup.exe /uninstall and then ccmsetup.exe
/mp:<machine> SMSSITECODE=<code> /noservice and also with /service.
I have tried winmgmt /resetrepository
I have checked that BITS service is running.
What else should i look for?
thanks

Answer 1

Did someone able to find the root cause of it and able to it resolve it, i'm currently facing the same issue:
Error 1904. Module C:\Windows\CCM\DCMADQueryProvider.dll failed to register.
HRESULT -2147024703. Contact your support personnel"
This error is not
restricted to any 1 dll but it's random like DCMADQueryProvider.dll,
statusagent.dll, ccmcore.dll
•I'm getting this error while installing
SCCM 2012 client.
Steps i tried:
1.I did try manually registering
oringinally but when the client fails to install, it removes all the source
files including the ccmcore.dll. So, ccmcore.dll doesn't reside on the system
after failing to install the client or at least not that I can see.
2. I
have tried timing it just right so that my "regsvr32 ccmcore.dll" is run during
the install process while the file is in the CCM folder but that didnt work
either.
3. I had manually created the directory CCM\x64\ccmcore.dll and
copied the file from a working client and try to register but it gave me an
error " Failed to load .dll"
4. i have tried uninstalling the client from
ccmclean and tried to reinstall it but still it fails.
Currently not sure what is wrong with the client install, so still
investigating the issue, please help if someone was able to solve the issue.
There are some
articles out there which points to resolving this issue by registering
ATL.dll.
However, in this
case ATL.dll has been registered only 1 times using regsvr32.exe (system32 and
syswow64 folders).
Based on procmon :
HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{44EC053A-400F-11D0-9DCD-00A0C90391D3}\InprocServer32\
While installing, it was looking for ATL.DLL and found the location from
registry as "“%systemroot%\system32\atl.dll”
