Can't reinstall ISA 2004 - 11.Jan.2008 3:29:12 PM

I am hoping that the experts here can help me out.
========================
Running Small Business Server 2003 Premium, Exchange, ISA 2004 SP2, SQL, WSUS, 2 NICs and a router, static IP, T1 connection.
========================
My C: drive is/was running out of room; I saw another thread on this NG on
that subject and did as they advised the author. I also downloaded and
executed an MS app called "Windows Installer Clean Up". This program
"killed" not only ISA 2004, but Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and DELL System
Administrator (My box is a DELL Poweredge 2800).

I clicked on Windows Installer Clean Up, until I saw all those files get
deleted. That was 2 days ago. Immediately, those 3 apps were gone. I
tried to reinstall ISA 2004, but it got to about the 3/4 mark and gave me
about a 0.5 sec look at an error message and rebooted the server. Didn't
find it in the Event Logs. Or in the C:\Program Files\Isa Server folder.

I came in today at 5:45 am so I coulkd get this up by start of business (8
am). Here it is 11 am and we're still not fully up.

I've tried uninstalling everything I can find with ISA's name on it, but the
ISA updates in Control Panel\Add-Remove Programs won't let me uninstall them
without the parent porogram in place. I don't want to mess with the
registry.

I got out my backup tape from the day before I did this BIG mistake. I
restored everything on the C drive that looked even remotely like a system
or Microsoft program gotta-have -it file. Rebooted and tried again - same
thing. Tried a couple more times to install ISA 2000 and then ISA 2004 on
top of it - same result.

We're up with ISA 2000 so the users are happy. But .... what did I do
wrong? What am I missing? And how do I correct my mistake?

Many thanks in advance!!

I'm confused, what is exactly your network setup? does the DC, ISA, Exchange are running on the same server?

Everything is on one box - Small Business Server 2003 Premium.

Should ahve posted back. I got this solved by using using MS's Installer Cleanup utility to flush out ISA and then I reinstalled. All is well.
