The Horizon Client installation tries to append an entry to the "hosts" file, which seems to be write protected.

CustomAction VM_AddViewLocalHostEntryToHostsFile returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
That could be caused by UAC (permission issue), or an A/V app which prevents modifications for this file.
You may need to temporarily disable A/V, or try to add the entry (I marked it in red) manually to the hosts file prior to running the Horizon Client setup.
