|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft BackOffice Server version 4.5
SYMPTOMS
When you try to install the Windows NT Option Pack during the installation of Microsoft BackOffice Server, the installation of Windows NT Option Pack may not work and one or more of the following error messages may be displayed:

During the installation of Site Server, several error message dialog boxes may appear with no text and just an OK command button.
In addition to the Option Pack and Site Server problems, the Intranet Publishing Kit may also not install correctly.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Intranet Publishing Kit depends on Site Server, which in turn depends on the Windows NT Option Pack. Windows NT Option Pack does not install correctly if the account specified for the Microsoft Transaction Server is not in the Administrators group.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:
To prevent the above-mentioned problems from occurring, make sure the account specified for the Microsoft Transaction Server is in the Administrators group.
- Uninstall Site Server by running Site Server Setup from the Start menu. When you are prompted for the Site Server files, insert BackOffice CD #5.
- Uninstall Windows NT Option Pack by running Setup.exe from the root folder on BackOffice CD #3.
- Add the account that Transaction Server will use to the Administrators group using User Manager for Domains.
- Run BackOffice Setup again and allow it to install Windows NT Option Pack, Site Server, and the Intranet Publishing Kit.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft BackOffice Server version 4.5.
