Problem with Beta 2 TFS Install with Sharepoint portion

Although I have had no problems installing the pieces for TFS during Beta 1 and all the CTPs, I can't get Sharepoint Services 2.0 to install correctly this time. I have tried 3X and I get this on install:

An unexpected error has occurred.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily disable Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.

I am running in a Win2K3 Standard VPC image with Service Pack 1. That is the only difference over the other times.

Any ideas

Sam -

Can you briefly describe your hardware set up, where the domain controller is located and the order of installation you followed

If you follow the guide, it will have you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 before you reach the step for installing SQL Server. By doing so, Windows Installer 3.1 is now on your system and you can skip the step in the SQL Server instructions for installing Windows Installer 3.0.

Install the Windows 2003 SP1 and Windows Installer 3.1 after the TFS Beta2 has been installed successfully, I doubt this should work.

Which came first - IIS or AD

If you installed AD after installing IIS, you will have problems. You must install AD before installing anything else or your permissions will be hosed.

When do you get the error about the Web Parts Maintenance Page Does this appear when WSS installation completes and it opens a browser window to display the top-level site, or sometime sooner

Sam,
Can you try changing the trust level for your virtual server (in web.config) from WSS_minimal to WSS_medium.

trust level="WSS_Medium" originUrl=""

Not sure if the above is the right solution. But just suggesting this to confirm if this is a security issue and if we could use this as a workaround.

Thanks,

In any case, I get a configuration error with what you gave me

Sam,
Would it help to check the sharepoint installation using the SharePoint Configuration Analyzer:

As in the guide, that Windows Server 2K3 instance is the domain controller with Active Directory.

Hi Rob,

I hope you can save me as usual I did exactly what the guide said in precise order. I am running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise in a Virtual PC machine with SP1. I skipped the step for Windows Installer 3.1 because of that. I just got down to the Sharepoint install and it doesn't work as described above. I'm out of ideas.

Why It should work with it on before.

Hmm, that is not even in the web.config that I am looking at which is the one at the root directory yet the tool seems to say the problem is at that level
Application: c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Thanks for your excellent suggestion. Most of it looks cool I think but one thing it did find was:
The location of "wpresources" could not be determined
_wpresources: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\wpresources

I don't know if this is supposed to be present or not. I have done 3 install/uninstall cycles.

This is not what the install guide says. It says to install Windows Installer 3.1 BEFORE.

It already seems to have both

<securityPolicy>
      <trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\config\wss_mediumtrust.config" />
      <trustLevel name="WSS_Minimal" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\config\wss_minimaltrust.config" />
