I had the Same Problem but my registry key was already set to 1. Disabling the WWW Publishing Service enable me to install it.

I can confirm that removing WSS 3.0 from the SBS 2008 server causes the specified registry value to go to 0 from 1.

Also this is weird and needs to be fixed. On a clean installed SBS 2008 server, RDP starts working right after you see the "press ctrl + alt + del" screen. BUT after you remove wss 3.0 from the server, you CANNOT RDP into the server till about 6-7 minutes after you see the "press ctrl + alt + del" screen..

I know this has to do with more changes WSS 3.0 does because the problem occurs immediately after WSS was removed.

SBS team, please look into this problem and if you find a solution please post it here for all of us..

Thanks!!

Same problem here, but WSS is not installed, "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" was already at "1", and iashost.exe is not running.

Worked like a charm! Thanks :)

It was to do with the WSS uninstall.

That was sweet, that solved my problem.

Must have something to do with WSS, because that is something we did. We uninstalled WSS and reinstalled.
