USMT fails to install on Windows Server

Problem:

When attempting to install USMT 3.0, 3.0.1, or 3.0.2 on Windows Server 2003 or Windows Sever 2008 the installer exits with the following error:

“There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”

Resolution:

Install and use USMT on one of the supported client versions of Windows. Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista are all supported.
