MOSS 2007 Fails Installing On Step 5 Of The Configuration Wizard

I've attempted to install MOSS 2007 several times as both stand-alone and server farm with no luck.  When I get to step 5 it will begin installing and publishing services when I get the message "Failed To Register Sharepoint Services". The detail behind this message reads "An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException was thrown".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
