Back to installation issues
Recently I encountered two issues related to IIS 7 installation and would like to share my findings. In both the scenarios, IIS7.log and CBS.log helped a lot to find the actual cause of issue.
Problem 1:
We are trying to install IIS on Windows 2008 server but it fails with following error message:
Attempt to install IIS Management console failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Directory browsing failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install HTTP logging failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install HTTP errors failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Static content failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Request monitoring failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Static content compression failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Default Document failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
Attempt to install Request filtering failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation
We are able to install WAS service but IIS installation fails everytime. In such scenario, CBS.log is the thing to look for:
We had "SystemDrive" environment variable with a value of C:\, this was being used trying to set the Shortcut for the IIS manager Administrative Tools.

Resolution: Deleted this "SystemDrive" variable from the system environment variables and reinstalled IIS.
Problem 2:
We are trying to install ODBC logging role service on IIS 7 and it fails with following error message:
Attempt to install ODBC Logging failed with error code 0x80070643
In IIS7.log we found that the components are getting installed but there is a failure while writing to the configuration file. The installation rolls back due to this.

Resolution: We found that shared configuration is enabled on the server and the applicationhost.config file is located on a remote share. Since we are trying to install the ODBC component only on this server and it should not change anything on other servers in the web farm, we disabled shared configuration and then installed the component.
This article relates somewhat to the issue we were facing:
https://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/638/installing-iis-modules-in-shared-configuration-environments/
Problem 3:
We are trying to install “IIS 6 Management Compatibility” web role service, but it fails with message “installation failed” and “the server needs to be restarted to undo the changes.” We are able to install other web role services for IIS and the issue is limited to “IIS 6 Management Compatibility”.
Again looking into IIS7.log, we see

[03/26/2013 13:42:56] < !!FAIL!! > METABASE_UTIL::InstallIisAdminMetabaseEntries result=0x8009000f
[03/26/2013 13:43:02] Successfully stopped IISADMIN.
[03/26/2013 13:43:02] Successfully installed legacy snapin metabase entries.
[03/26/2013 13:43:02] Successfully started IISADMIN.
[03/26/2013 13:43:02] < !!FAIL!! > Install of component Metabase result=0x8009000f
[03/26/2013 13:43:02] < !!FAIL!! > COMPONENT::ExecuteCommand result=0x8009000f
Resolution: This is mostly because of permissions issue on MachineKeys folder. Use Process Monitor to identify the missing permissions.
Hint: Make sure System account have full control on these two keys:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\Machinekey\7a43*
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\Machinekey\c231*
