Cannot install MSMQ on Vista Business

I have a Windows Vista Business (32 bit) PC at work. It came with Windows
pre-installed as it was a Dell machine. Now I need to add the Microsoft
Message Queuing Server to my installation and do the following:

1. open control panel
2. Add or Remove programs
3. On the left pane selected "Enable/Disable Windows components"
4. On the resulting dialog scrolled down to "Microsoft Message Queue Server"
5. Enabled ALL the checkboxes belonging to MSMQ
6. Pressed OK

Then the system goes to think for a while and proceeds to "install" the MSMQ
server component. Then it says I have to reboot. I let it reboot the system.

Machine reboots and some stuff appears on a black screen looking like
registry keys. Then it boots again and shows me another dialog saying
"Installing update 3 of 3" or something like that. I wait until it reaches
100% and then it says it has to reboot again. So far so good, no error has
been produced.

The machine reboots for the 2nd time in this process and everything seems
fine, just before the Login screen when I am about to get happy I get a
notification (Windows) that Windows Vista was feeling unwell and that it
needs to rollback the installation. It does that and MSMQ is NOT there.

I have tried this already 5 times and it is ALWAYS the same! I can't get
MSMQ installed on Windows Vista.

Any clues?

No answers yet but the problem persists, this Vista OS is more eye candy
than anything else, it has been nothing but one problem after another :-(
