This is one of old issues that I came across while installing TFS 2005, but hope this might still help someone who are trying their hands with TFS the first time.
While running TFS installation (AT if its a Dual Tier) you might get a error:
Error:
“Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU -- The installer has
encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a
problem with this package. The error code is 26105.”
MSI SNIPPET:

Solution:
In our case we turned on “COM+ System Application” Services and this took care of
the issue.
1) Open Services.msc from Start> Run
2) Locate “Com+System Application” Service
3) If the service is disabled, enable it and set it to manual.
Note: If this didnot fix the issue, please check the forum for other possible

Also, this issue does not invoke a Rollback of the MSI installation; this
might leave back the TFS app pools and STS databases in the machine. Make sure you
remove them and uninstall and reinstall SharePoint services before you start a new
installation.
