Hello,

sorry that I dont write an essay to show/prove everything in detail every time 
...

Attached is trace, WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+msi,+reg

Look for custom dll function: ACTION_CallDllFunction calling L"f1"

--- snip ---

It looks for "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
Due to missing key, a C++ exception is raised and gets caught by custom dll
exception handler.
The error is converted HRESULT 0x80070002 and then to general msi error code
"1603".

Create the registry key and run setup.
Voila. Install succeeds.

Are you now convinced?
