To reinstall the MSGina, perform the steps below.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

Open the registry of the computer and go to the following location:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\NWGINA.DLL

Change Nwgina.dll to Msgina.dll.

Restart the server and run the setup program again.

If you choose not to replace the registry entry, there may be future problems with the Systems Management Server Executive service not responding due to remote procedure call (RPC) problems caused by the Nwgina.dll.
