Re: Windows 8.0 beta on Server 2003 Installer problem

I was able to install on a another 2003 server, so it must be a problem
with my machine.  Although I sure wish I knew what the problem is, since
the other server is almost identical.  It's a good thing in the end
though because that server is a much better test platform.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

Yes--just to make sure I installed another MSI-based package and it
worked fine.

It could also be a corrupt database on the machine itself, in the system
databases. I have no idea what to do about that, thoguh :-) But if it
succeeds on all other machines (with *the same download*), and
consistently fails on this one, that sounds like it could be it. Can you
install other MSI based packages on this machine?
