Can note re-install QFE's after re-installing Platform Builder

I had installed the platform builder and installed the 2004 roll-up QFE's.

I removed platform builder and re-installed it.

Now when I try to apply the QFE's I get the error:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required
for this install to complete could not run. Contact your support personnel
or package vendor"

What registry settings did not get cleaned-up in the un-install of platform
builder.

I have tried a second un-install where I removed

\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Platform Builder\*
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Tools\*

I re-installed platform builder and still get the message above when I try
to install the QFE.

I'd heard of a similar problem, and the solution was to apply one of the
earlier individual QFEs first. After that, the yearend rollup worked. Go
figure...

Reinstall the Windows Installer
To reinstall the Windows Installer, rename the damaged Windows Installer
files, and then reinstall the Windows Installer. To do so:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3. At the command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER,
where Drive is the drive where Windows is installed and where %Windir% is
the folder where Windows is installed:
attrib -r -s -h drive:\%Windir%\system32\dllcache
For example, type
attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\\system32\dllcache

Note If you are using Windows 98, type system instead of system32.
4. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after
each line:
ren msi.dll msi.old
ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old
ren msihnd.dll msihnd.old
5. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.
6. Restart your computer.
7. Update the Windows Installer files on your hard disk to the latest
version. Windows Installer 2.0 is available for download from the Microsoft
Download Center:

Important: Windows Installer 2.0 is included with Windows. You do not have
to perform this step if you use Windows XP.
 For Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and
Windows 98:

 For Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0:
