SQL Server 2005 Installation Error: SOURCEMGMT: Source is invalid due to invalid package code (product code doesn't match).

Today I was installing SQL Server 2005 first time on one of my test computers where SQL Server 2000 was running earlier. I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 and was running the SQL Server 2005 installation when encountered error on the setup of MSXML. The log file gives the following description of the error.

SOURCEMGMT: Source is invalid due to invalid package code (product code doesn't match).

A google search returned a very useful article that helped me resolve this error and I was able to complete the installation successfully.

Thanks to the blogger for sharing this.
