After checking the above mentioned dism.log and the %WINDIR%\logs\CBS\cbs.log, I realised the MSMQ-HTTP install tries to bind an MSMQ application to the default website

Excerpt from cbs.log:

ERROR "Installation of the MSMQ HTTP Support Subcomponent"

ERROR "The full path to the Message Queuing IIS extension is /."

ERROR "Creating a new Message Queuing IIS extension"

ERROR "Starting the default web server"

ERROR "The changes for the IIS extension have been committed."

ERROR "The default Web server started."

ERROR "Creating the msmq web directory"

The problem was that I had deleted the Default Web Site in my zeal to start from a clean slate. Adding the Default Web Site back to IIS allowed the MSMQ-HTTP feature to install successfully.

This blog by the MSMQ product group may help:

"Automate Your MSMQ Installation" http://blogs.msdn.com/b/motleyqueue/archive/2007/10/20/automate-your-msmq-installation.aspx

which says

MSMQ-Container on Vista doesn’t actually represent a component or service by itself, so installing it won’t do much for you. At the same time, trying to install just MSMQ-Server won’t get you where you’re going, either. If you want just the very basic MSMQ server functionality, you need to install MSMQ-Container and MSMQ-Server together.

Windows – Can’t get MSMQ to receive messages via FQDN via HTTP

Ok, so the solution was simple.

It seems pretty clear all the documentation was made prior to the HTTP option, hence the lack of just one example.

You need to add a redirection for MSMQ, from FQDN.com to localhost.

You do this by adding an XML file under: C:\Windows\System32\msmq\Mapping

With the following contents:

<redirections xmlns="msmq-queue-redirections.xml">
  <redirection>
      <from>http://FQDN.com/msmq/private$/test.q</from>
      <to>http://localhost/msmq/private$/test.q</to> 
  </redirection>
</redirections>

Done
