I'm trying to install Exchange 2007 SP1 Rollup #5 onto an existing EX2k7 SP1 64-bit Enterprise installation.
When I run the .MSP, it spends a good while "computing space requirements," before prompting me to begin the install and accept the license terms. Then the "Installing..." window gets busy for about 10 minutes.
Unfortunately, the end result is a blue, white and gray dialog - a normal .MSP screen - which says...
"Setup Wizard for Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again."
To my eyes, there's nothing conclusive in the logs which are tossed into C:ExchangeSetupLogs . (ExchangeSetup.txt has long been missing from that folder.)
Curiously, Rollup 5 appears in Add/Remove programs and can be removed without incident.
Going off a TechNet thread which involves the same symptoms, I've set the TEMP and TMP system environmental variables so that they point at c:temp, and I've put very generic permissions on that folder.
Looking for advice and sympathy :) Thank you.
