I am having difficulty installing Microsoft Web Deploy 3.0 to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. I have tried installing with both the Web Platform Installer and the MSI package but installation fails while trying to execute the MSI custom action ExecuteRegisterUIModuleCA.

This server is a VM and a member of a farm but shared config is disabled while I'm installing.

Here's the point at which it fails in the MSI log (starting at line 1875):

I can't seem to find any information regarding this particular issue; can someone help point me in the right direction?

After many hours of digging I finally found the solution.

There were two duplicated entries in the administration.config's location\modules section: Rewrite & PlatformInstaller. Removing these duplicates allowed the installation to complete successfully.
