It's clear that you have either been thrown in the deep end by your employer or you are trying to blag it as an application packager. Either way, trying to gain knowledge by posting on forums will be a long and painful process for everyone.
Before you do anything, read and digest Phil Wilson's The Definitive Guide To Windows Installer. You will struggle unless you know Wi fundamentals.
Analysing WI logs is pretty straightforward once you know what to look for. Error 1708 is not it. Search for the text 'return value 3.' The dozen or so lines above and below this entry will detail the action which is cuasing the failure.

Ian beat me to an answer again :)
I might be missing something here, but VLC Player doesn't come from the vendor as an MSI (only exe installer, 7zip package, or zip package) - so have you created this MSI?
Does it install normally with a full user interface?
Have you run validation on your MSI - it may give you a pointer to what is wrong with the package?
Install with a verbose log and have a look further up from the section you posted for 'Return value 3' - this should show you where and what the error actualy is.
Hope that helps,

1708 is an MSI error meaning sourcefiles not found.
I notice also that the SourceDir = E:\vlc_new1, so the MSI will look at that folder to find the files required for the installation.
Best is to use the cabs inside methods when compiling if you have little knowledge about Msi, this gives you then only an MSI which you need to distribute.
