OK, i now know what is causing this. The User environment variable
%TEMP% and %TMP% are not being set correctly for this account.
Windows actually sees the end result of the variable as %userprofile%
\Local Settings\Temp and is processing that as %systemroot%\system32\
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp. So it is like Windows cannot read
the contents of the %userprofile% variable.
If I run:
SETX TEMP "%userprofile$\Local Settings\Temp"
SETX TMP "%userprofile$\Local Settings\Temp"
The variables are then displayed correctly under My Computer >
Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables
The installers work, but as soon as I logoff the variabel gets set
back to the broken value.
What is even more strange is that I can manually edit the values in My
Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables and type
'%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp' and the machine will resolve the
full path of my profile...
Any ideas what on earth would cause this?
Thanks.

Using Filemon I have discovered that this ipi file does indeed exist
fro a short time (the name changes for each install) and it is being
deleted.
I have copied some of the log below:

I also have a log for the msi install if required.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Thanks again.

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
