Windows Installer Error 11708

We are running a Windows 2000 Server with Sp4.  We recently became unable to install .msi programs.  The Event log we are getting is:

Event Type:      Information
Event Source:      MsiInstaller
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      11708
Date:            9/22/2004
Time:            3:11:14 PM
User:            N/A
Computer:      NYNIAG-B
Description:
Product: PEX Database Manager -- Installation failed.

We have tried Adobe Acrobat 6 Reader install with the same results.  I WAS able to re-install the Windows Installer 2.0, I have run sfc /SCANNOW, I have re-ran SP4.  Still no dice...Any thoughts?

1)I have logged in as other Admin-Privledged users and had the same results.

2)I did not see the section you are talking about in dcomcnfg (This is a 2000 Server).

Ousp, in 2000 it's in administrative tools -> Components services. ;)

i went into Component Services, Under the Default Security Tab.  I compared permissions to an XP workstation.Launch Permissions were the same, howeverAccess permissions on 2k Server were blank.  I added System (like it is on XP), rebooted and still have the same problems.
what was it?
