To install server components

  3. On the Component Options page, select Access Workflow Designer Server, and click Install.

    Note   You return to the Component Options page when installation for the selected component is complete.

  4. When prompted, enter your Windows NT account information and administrator password.

After installation is complete, the server contains the administrative tools and the server infrastructure for team solutions.

Note   You may receive the following message: "Unable to verify that FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions are setup and working properly. Please set up FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions manually." If you do, run Fpsrvadm.exe to reregister the FrontPage Server Extensions. For more information, search for "fpsrvadm.exe" in the Troubleshooting topic in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.

Note   When installing the Windows NT Option Pack, SMTP Services may not be installed by default. If you receive the message "Unable to start SMTP Services," you must reinstall the Option Pack. For details, see "Unable to start SMTP Services error message" in the Troubleshooting topic in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.
