5169.19Installation problem.MQOOA::LEDOUXVincent [email protected]Tue Feb 25 1997 08:4637
    Hi all,
    
    I ftp'ed the latest Alpha version  (3.01) from the Microsoft Ie web site.
    It has 3.2 Meg.
    
    I am currently running NT Server 4.0 SP2 on a 21164/300 Mhz.
    (iexplorer 2.0/alpha works fine btw.) I only have FX32 V1.1
    installed as other layered thus far.
    
    The installation starts, ask me for license, start copying a few
    files in C:\winnt40\system32 etc....
    Then it says:
    "Installation Failed: Unable to determine or construct a path for
    the Program Files Directory"
    
    The Program Files dir is on C:\Program files\
    Ie 2.0 is in C:\Program Files\plus!\Microsoft Internet\
    and again, works fine.
    
    If I delete or rename the 2.0 directory, it recreates it
    put a few files (iexplorer.exe) but clicking on it results
    on nothing happening.
    
    If I go in add/remove program in control panel, I see
    Internet Explorer 3.0   If I try to delete it it says
    the removal was successfull, but the entry still remains
    in the add/remove program window.
    
    What am doing wrong?
    
    Do I need Ie 3.0 installed first?
    If so, where is the kit?
    
    Any answer welcome...
    
    Vince.

    re: -.1
    
    Forget about the previous reply,
    Re-installing NT 4.0 server  (in "Upgrade" mode)
    fixed the bug.
    
    Although I have no idea what could've caused the
    problem. 
    
    Does anyone...?

5169.21Service Pack?dlj.alf.dec.com::jenningsThis space for rentWed Feb 26 1997 06:352
Well, if you re-installed from the CD-ROM, you replaced the files from the 
service pack.  Perhaps you were seeing a service pack problem.
5169.22NopeMQOOA::LEDOUXVincent [email protected]Sat Mar 01 1997 04:1610
    re: -.1
    Nope,  I tried removing msie 3.01,
    re-update SP2,
    re-installaing MSIE 3.01, successfully.
    
    Must be one of those unexplainable glitch.
    
    Thanks anyway,
    
    Vince.

5169.24WNNT drive letter wrong in registry - ok nowTURRIS::av_pc1.shl.dec.com::sullivanMon May 12 1997 21:565
Fixed. The problem was that the WINNT drive letter was
wrong, all the way through the registry. After I 
corrected the regigistry, the install worked.
