Windows Installer (MSI) Error 2203 An internal error has occurred.

Hey guys,

I've got an odd error I am experiencing on a Windows Server 2003
server. The problem only occurs under my own account. I am a Domain
Admin. As any other Administrator or Domain Admin account I do not
experience this error. The error always has the code 2203 and is
similar to:

Error 2203. An internal error has occurred. (M:\WINDOWS\Installer
\399f2.ipi -2147024629 ) Contact Microsoft Product
Support Services (PSS) for assistance.

I have checked the ACL on the temp folder and the Windows Installer
folder and they're fine; although this is proven by the fact the other
accounts work.

The error occurs on ALL msi installers under my own account. I have
reset my profile and the problem still occurs - only on this one
server. As the admin of this server I need to be able to install /
remove software! Is there ny way to reset the MSI installer for a
particular user account? Is there something I am missing?

Any thoughts greatly apreciated!

-Chris
