I wondered about the corrupt installer problem (since I cannot download files here I downloaded it at home and put on CD), but it installed fine on Windows XP Professional.
Perhaps this is a corruption that XP forgives but 2003 does not. I've had some problems with 2003 on this box (Dell GX260) reading certain ISO CDs, but I copied the file locally to run the program. I logged in as local administrator to run the program. One of our IT admin guys said I could test it on his server 2003 so I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Did you check the validity of that particular installer package, to avoid "corrupted .msi file"? Are you logged in locally to the server? Local Administrator?
