Apply (or reapply as the case may be) the latest Windows NT 4 Service Pack on your workstation.

That may help. Bear in mind that you only need SP3 applied before installing NT Option Pack (whether that be IIS on NT Server or PWS on NTWS). Any later service packs must be reinstalled post-install.

OK, I think more information regarding your problem is in order. What particular component of Option Pack 4 is being installed when the error occurs? Can you provide a filename?

SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT Option Pack on a computer that already has Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (or greater) installed, the following error message is displayed:

Setup detected that Windows NT 4.0 SP4 or greater is installed on your machine. We haven't tested this product on SP4. Do you wish to proceed?
Click OK to continue the installation. After the setup program has completed and the computer has restarted, you can reapply Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.

By searching the Technet, I've found the your problem has big chances to be related to The Metabase, since both are COM+ instances. Check the Internet Information Server Technical Notes - The Metabase or the book: http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=1572315857
It might be something simple, as permissions in a certain location or a more complicated issue. Another idea is to try to not install the Transaction Server while installing the PWS...
I am also confident that youhave updated the system components - like the MDAC to 2.5 and the NT SP to 6a.
I've found another mention about this CoCreate... Q184620 in TechNet.
