Symptoms
When attempting to install a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Management Point (MP) on Windows Server 2008, the setup may fail with the following errors:
MPMSI.LOG

<08-27-2010 13:51:30> Fatal MSI Error - mp.msi could not be installed.
Note that the failures are observed on Standard, Enterprise, x86, and x64 versions. The failures are observed in the following circumstances:
- After performing a site repair of a site server running on Windows 2008 with a local MP already installed
- Initial install of an MP on a machine running Windows 2008
- After removing and attempting to reinstall an MP on a machine running Windows 2008
Resolution
As of right now, the easiest way to resolve this issue is to remove and reinstall the BITS component. If the ConfigMgr 2007 Management Point role was already installed then it will also be necessary to remove and reinstall that role once you've done the same with BITS.
