Unfortunately UF 7.3.3 also not working on WIN2012 R2.
As Splunk has dropped the support for Windows 2012 and 2012R2 on Splunk UF 8.0.0 older version should work there. Based on that in Your case there are probably something else which cause this issue?
Can you try this to get more detailed log file, why it didn't succeed?

Any idea whts error??
Appreciate your help
Hi @lalit375,
Are there any ERRORs or WARNs in splunkd.log around the time that the installer attempts to start the UF service?
Cheers,
- Jo.
Have you already UF installed or is this 1st time installation? MSI Error code 1603 could be come e.g.
Those are probably the most usual reason for code 1603.
Hi
I think that then last certified UF version for Windows 2012 R2 was 7.3.3?

Unfortunately UF 7.3.3 also not working on WIN20
