Search your drive for the diagnostics that the install created.
Find the context in them for this error. One possibility is that
the code represents a crash recovery in which case a particular
module and offset might be reported by the Event log.
You could supplement whatever diagnostics you do manage to find
by rerunning the install while running ProcMon to trace all the associated
file and registry accesses.


Good luck
