    I am in the process of installing SP 2013 on  3 Windows 2008 servers. I grabbed the binaries and added the March CU as a slip streamed package. The installation went fine on two machines but failed at first on the third one due to lack of free disk space. I cleaned up free disk space and tried the installation again but now it fails right away saying that SharePoint server 2013 encountered errors during setup.  When I look at the add remove programs I don't see SharePoint listed, however, when I do show installed updates I see the SharePoint 2013 march update listed there which probably causing the issue. Also, I noticed that when I launch the setup, specify the license key, complete install I see that the path to the install is grayed out pointing to the old location. My question is how can I clean the installation or maybe is there a way (registry key for instance) to make SharePoint think this is a fresh install?

    Thanks

    Thanks. Rebuilding the OS seems a little drastic. There's got to be a way around it.

    Generally if you have to reinstall SharePoint (or re-attempt an install), a rebuild of the OS is advisable.

    The issue has been resoled. I noticed I was getting the below error in the logs.

    Error: Failed to configure: {90120000-1080-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} ErrorCode: 1612(0x64c).

    The error a bit cryptic but it means that the install binariec could not be located in the original location. indeed, I had moved them to free up some disk space. i moved them back and was able to do an uninstall and successfull install afterward.
