MECM Client failing to install

Question

Hi guys, need some assistance if possible please have not seen this error before when trying to install the MECM client on one of our servers. It never had a client installed before so this error is for a new install. Error from the CCMSetup.log - MSI: Setup was unable to bootstrap Sql CE database CcmStore.sdf.
The error code is 80004005. Like I said before this is not a update of the client this is a fresh install of the MECM client, so nothing in the CCM folder at the time of install. Have tried installing it manually and through the push client both having the same outcome. CCMSetup log attached server and certificate information removed. Any advice would be welcome, thank you.144555-ccmsetup.log

Seen this message of "setup was unable to bootstrap sql ce database Inventorystore.sdf 8004005" severeal times on systems, when attempting to re-install the Config Client after an uninstall command was run (ccmsetup.exe -uninstall) and the intial uninstall gave a 0 return code value in the ccmsetup log file (suggesting successful un-install), but yet the Config client icon was still showing present in the Control Panel (albeit as an empty shell). Then when an insall is done the above error message always appears and the client never re-installs even though certificates OK and hhtps comms to Mmgt. Point seems ok. Anyone ever resolve this i.e. un-install return code of 0 when Config Client removal attempted, but icon still present, and then any attempted re-install of Config Client fails with the above message.
