“Fatal MSI Error – srsrp.msi could not be installed” when attempting to reinstall a Reporting Services Point

I am trying to reinstall a Reporting Services point (RSP), on my Site Database Server which is remote from the Site Server. Both the RSP and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), were removed due to a different technical issue that now been resolved.

I have reinstalled SSRS successfully but now I am having issues re-installing the RSP.

On the E: drive of the former RSP server the SMS_SRSRP directory exists so I assume that’s where the RSP was installed before.

SQL has been installed to F: but the SMS_SRSRP directory isn’t there.

When I try to reinstall the RSP), in the srsrpsetup.log I see the following:
