Admin console will not install on XP SP3 box...

Hey. I've looked and cannot a posting like this so sorry if the question was already asked.

I am able to install the console on other systems, just not this one.
Here is the install log for the SCCM Admin console on a XP SP3 box:

===================== << Starting SMS V4 Server Setup >> =====================

if i try a scriped install, with these parameters:

[Identification]

Action=InstallAdminUI

[Options]

SMSInstallDir=C:\SCCMADMINCONSOLE

ParentSiteServer=Server

SDKServer=Server

I get this error msg in the log:

<06-29-2009 14:25:38> Setup has detected a corrupt primary site installation on this computer. Setup is unable to remove the installation because some registry settings have been lost. You can attempt to remove the corrupt installation manually and then try running Setup again.

You cannot install primary or secondary site server components on this computer because it is not a server in a Windows domain.

<06-29-2009 14:25:43> The ConfigMgr setup script contains syntax errors.

This is a workstation and not a server. Any suggestions on getting around this?

Have you tried installing it from the media?

You can also drop the question to the ConfigMgr email list...

Have you had a previous installation of the console, maybe from SMS, on the system?

Try deleting the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS key in the registry (back it up first) and then retry the installation.
