Delete 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\096825A1D2A65CB41B34C8A48E1DD969

from the registry

then reinstall MS SQL Server 2005

alternatively
Better is:
Win + R, cmd, regedit

navigate to 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products

CTRL + F enter 'msxml6'
then delete the key

I couldn't even find the registry key mentioned in the accepted answer on my machine, but finally had success when I uninstalled MSXML6, reinstalled and then installed Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 Service Pack 1

For my machine (Windows XP) I selected the "msxml6_x86.msi" download.

The long story: Now we're getting somewhere : the MSXML6 issue.

The short story: download the MSXML6 removal utility, then install SQL Server 2005
