Updating Windows UF to 9.2.0.1 via SCCM - 1603 errors

As title. I'm updating to UF 9.2.0.1 via SCCM, but a subset of targets are failing to install the update with the dreaded 1603 return code. The behavior is the same whether or not I run the msi as SYSTEM (i.e., via USE_LOCAL_SYSTEM) or not. All the existing forwarders being updated are newer - 8.2+, but mostly 9.1.x.

Oddly, if I manually run the same msiexec string with a DA account on the local system, the update usually succeeds. It's baking my noodle why it will work one way but not another. I have msiexec debug logging set up, but it's not giving me anything obvious to work with.

I can also usually get it to install if I uninstall the UF and gut the registry of all vestiges of UF, but that's not something I want to do on this many systems.

I've read a bunch of other threads with 1603 errors but none of them have been my issue, as far as I can tell.

Any ideas as to what the deal is?
