Installing IIS Over Previously Installed Beta Versions

ID: Q142848

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

You experience problems after you install a beta version of Microsoft Internet Information Server and then upgrade to the release version instead of deleting the beta version first before installing the release version.


RESOLUTION

Microsoft does not recommend or support installation of released software on top of previous beta versions. To install the released version:

  1. Backup your data files and make notes of your settings.


  2. Run the beta Internet Server Setup program and choose Remove All to remove all beta files and related registry entries.

    If you have already upgraded over your beta version, follow this same procedure with the release version Setup program.


  3. Reboot and run Setup from the release version.


This ensures that all outdated files and registry entries are removed so there are no conflicts between the release version and the beta version.
