My thoughts are these: some of the installer executables were compiled
32-bit, even though the apps they install are 64-bit. I had the same
inclination as you, and did start over completely (twice) with no luck. I'm
not doing anything outrageous: put the Server 2k3 x64 CD in the drive, boot
from it, install it, run Microsoft Update. Attempt to install Exchange 2k7.
Error 1109. The fact that I get the same error when attempting to install
from a known good media (Office Ent 2k7) tells me that it's probably not my
Exchange media. KB911021 seems to describe my symptoms, but it was also
apparently included in Windows Server 2k3 SP2.
