This Windows 2008 SP2

The Error:

Message Queuing: Installation failed Error: Attempt to install Message Queuing Server failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation The following features were not installed: Message Queuing Services Message Queuing Server

Found a msdn blog with the following resolution:

Resolution

To resolve this issue follow the steps listed below:

  1. Go to Control panel and click User Accounts
  2. Select User Accounts and click Turn User Account Control on/ Off
  3. Un-check the check box beside User Account Control
  4. Close the User Account Window, reboot the computer and try to install Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) again

Note: Be sure to turn User Account Controll back on when the issue is resolved

After doing that and rebooting I still getting the same error when trying to installing MSMQ.

You may have more luck with this at serverfault.com. - Jeff Sternal
I have found a corrupt registry key that maybe preventing the installation. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSMQ it is throwing an error when selected within regedit: MSMQ cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details: The system cannot find the file specified. - Mike
Does any one know how to delete a corrupt register key? - Mike
You can use the regdellnull tool: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897448.aspx - Dieter DHoker

create a key called MSMQ in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft and then go and delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSMQ. Worked for me on Windows 10 preview and then I was able to install MSMQ.
