I haven't seen that particular error but most of the Installer errors I see are 
permissions related.  Check the perms and ownership on the c:\winnt\installer folder.  
This is usually the culprit.

Good luck!

Subject: Broken Windows Installer


Windows NT 4 SP6a server running IIS 4, ColdFusion, and an Oracle client. 
The Windows installer won't install any .msi packages.  The usual error is
"1324: The folder path <whatever> contains an invalid character".  KB articles refer
to either roaming profiles (which we don't use), or file/folder/registry
permissions.  I've checked and double-checked the perms and admins and
SYSTEM have FC everywhere.  I generated a verbose log when installing the
msicuu but there's nothing obvious there, although I'm not really sure
what I'm looking for in the msi log.

I've got the latest InstMsiW.exe but it won't install because the service
is already installed and running.  Is there a way to uninstall the service
so I can try to fix it?  Is there a better way to fix it?  Any other
clues?
