2005 SP 1 Install Failure Solution - Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file

This is posted for others who have
If this error occurs here is what worked for me. I hope it may work for you
but am not sure.
In my case I had SQL Express 2005 Installer on my system as well as I run
both (one for development, one for production).
Shut down all SQL related services manually.
I set registry permissions on Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
to include the account that is doing the install with Full Control. Click
Advanced and make sure everything is selected.
I downloaded and ran the SQL Install Cleanup and removed the SQL 2005 Setup
Files Installer and the SQL Express Installer. I then reinstalled the SQL
Setup Files (ONLY!!!!!) from my SQL Server 2005 CD. If you don't don't do
this you won't be able to use the SP.

I then reinstalled the SP and it worked.
Hope this helps somebody.
Special thanks to Peter Yang of Microsoft for his invaluable assistance on
this issue.
