    Error code 1601 = "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

    Try another MSI; based on the actual error messages, its not the MSI but that actual Windows Installer service that is the issue.

    Have you checked the Log in your error message:"Log:         C:\WINDOWS\ccmsetup\MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi.log"

    There should be an answer for this problem.

    Try installing MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi manually (msiexec /i MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi /l*v C:\MPPS.log) and see if an error is logged then.

    It looks like I have a corrupted installer program. I will try to fix that after hours today. I will let you know. Trying Torsten's suggestion led me to this.

    The msi resides on the Site Server, from where the client will be installed.
    [InstallationFolder]\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\
    and then x64 or i386.

    You will find those files on the installation CD: [CD-Drive]:\SMSSETUP\CLIENT

    Everything is working fine now. I installed the latest version of the Installer program and that fixed the corruption in the files. The client installed successfully after that.

    Thanks everyone!
