Unable to Install TCP/IP Protocol and Component After Setup

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

If you cancel TCP/IP Configuration during Windows NT Setup and you try to install the TCP/IP protocol and related components after Setup, the TCP/IP Internetworking component, Connectivity Utilities, is unavailable (dimmed).

CAUSE

Windows NT Setup adds the Tcpip subkey in the registry even though you canceled the TCP/IP Configuration during Setup.
