Error Message: An Unknown Error Occurred While Making MTS Specific Changes to the System Registry

• Microsoft Windows 98
• Microsoft Windows 95
• Microsoft Personal Web Server version 4.0 for Windows 95
• Microsoft Personal Web Server version 4.0 for Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) or Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), you may receive the following error message:

Error Code = 0x80004005 An unknown error occurred while making MTS specific changes to the system registry.

Setup of "Transaction Server Core Components" failed. The specific error code is 0xfee662.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the registry is large when you attempt to install PWS or MTS.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, download the updated version of the Mtssetup.dll file and reinstall PWS or MTS:

1. Create a temporary folder on the hard disk called C:\Temp.



2. Copy the MTS or PWS Setup files from the CD-ROM (or other location from which you originally installed them) to the C:\Temp folder. For example, if you installed MTS or PWS from the Windows 98 CD-ROM, copy the files from the Add-ons\PWS folder to the C:\Temp folder you just created.



3. Download the updated Mtssetup.exe, which contains the updated Mtssetup.dll file from the Microsoft Software Library (click the link in the "Download Mtssetup" section below).



4. Double-click Mtssetup.exe to extract the Mtssetup.dll file.



5. Replace the Mtssetup.dll file in the C:\Temp folder with the file that you downloaded in step 3 (should be version 1997.11.532.0 of size 622,592 bytes).



6. Run Setup.exe from the C:\Temp folder and install PWS or MTS.
