An error in the log file says "Class not Registered. You need the following file to be installed on your machine. MSSTDFMT.dll"
CAUSE:
Installing on operating systems like Windows Server 2003
RESOLUTION:
The file can be found at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088
The link shows how to get the file and register it. This was seen on (and it worked for) a Windows Server 2003 computer.
