"This problem seems to relate back to the AD.  If you have installed Exchange 2k7 previous then the AD contains information about the Exchange server that must be removed.  I deleted the 2 MS Exchange containers in the AD Users and Settings.

Then found a folder ExchangeSetupLogs and a file in there should be Exchange Setup.log.  Opening this file you should see line like

Exchange Configuration Container for the Organization is....
Exchange Organization Container for the Organization is.....

This means it found it's self in the AD.  I then went to the Domain Controller and ran ADSIEDIT.MSC. 

Under Configuration --> CN=Configuration -->CN=Services 

You should see CN=Microsoft Exchange.  All I did was remove this entire entry and everything underneath it.  The install works fine now."
