Hi there.
Windows Installer error code 1638 means that another version is already installed. Please un-install the current version and try again.
Hope this help.

Hi.
What OS are you using ? (Windows Server 2003/2008/2008R2?) 32/64 bit?
And what exact version of WSS are you trying to install? (Preferable the URL that you downloaded from)
Regards,
Magnus

Hi.
Not R2?
And which version of WSS are you trying to install?
Could you please give the URL to which version you are trying to install?
Have you previously installed WSS on this server?
If so, have you previously tried to install WSS using add/remove programs?
Thanks
