Setup Error Messages


 Welcome to Setup for Internet Information Server

This program will help you install one or more components of Microsoft Internet Information Server.

During the installation process, Setup will not be able to install system files or update shared files if they are in use. Before proceeding, it is recommended that you close any open programs.

To close applications without exiting Setup

1.	Check for open applications on the Windows NT Taskbar.

2.	For any application you want to close, right-click its icon on the Taskbar.

A menu appears.

3.	From the menu choose Close.

Note  The Windows NT Control Panel and Microsoft Internet Information Server Setup must remain open.


 Selecting Internet Information Server Components to Install or Remove

All of the following components are selected for installation by default. If you do not want to install a particular item, click the box next to it to clear it.

Internet Service Manager installs the administration program for managing the services.

World Wide Web creates a WWW publishing server.

WWW Service Samples installs sample HyperText Markup Language (HTML) files.

Internet Service Manager (HTML) installs the HTML version of Internet Service Manager to administer the services through a browser.

Gopher Service creates a gopher publishing server.

FTP Service creates a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) publishing server.

ODBC Drivers and Administration installs Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers. These are required for logging to ODBC files and for enabling ODBC access from the WWW service.

Important  If you want to provide access to databases through the Microsoft Internet Information Server, you will need to set up the ODBC drivers and data sources by using the ODBC applet in the Windows NT Control Panel.

If you have an application running that uses ODBC, you may see an error message telling you that one or more components are in use. Before continuing, close all applications and services that use ODBC.

To install a Microsoft Internet Information Server component

Make sure the box next to the component option you want to install is selected. The word Install should appear in parentheses next to the component name. If Install does not appear, the component is already installed on the computer.

To remove a Microsoft Internet Information Server component

Clear the box next to the component option. The word Remove should appear next to the component name. If Remove does not appear, that component is not installed on the computer.

To change the directory in which to install Microsoft Internet Information Server

Click the Change Directory button and type the complete directory path in the dialog box.


 Installation Maintenance

Setup has entered maintenance mode because it found that one or more components of Microsoft Internet Information Server are already installed on the local computer. Multiple instances of Internet Information Server cannot reside on the same computer.

To modify the Internet Information Server services on the local computer, click the appropriate button.

*	Use the Add/Remove button to change your current Internet Information Server configuration by adding or removing individual components. From the list that appears, you can select items to add that you did not install in a previous Setup and select items to remove that you previously installed.

*	Use the Reinstall button to install a fresh copy of the same set of components and files that you have already installed. This option does not add any additional components to your system configuration. It simply refreshes the program files for your current configuration.

•	Use the Remove All button to remove all Internet Information Server services and program files from the computer. This option does not remove any content or sample files from your system.  If you wish to remove those files, use the Windows NT Explorer.


 Disk Location

Setup must be told where your Microsoft Internet Information Server setup files are located.

If you are running Setup for the first time, your Microsoft Internet Information Server setup files are on the Microsoft Windows NT Server compact disc. The appropriate drive letter and directory will appear by default.

If you are connected to a network, the setup files can be located on a shared network directory.


 Select Directory

Setup must be told in which directory Microsoft Internet Information Server should be installed. Use this dialog box to select the appropriate directory.


 Removal of a Running Service

Setup is attempting to remove a running service. You must stop the service by clicking the Yes button to allow Setup to remove the service from your Microsoft Internet Information Server installation.


 Problem Copying Files

Setup cannot find the Microsoft Internet Information Server distribution files where you specified the files would be; or Setup cannot create the destination directory or files because you do not have permission; or the remote computer is not running.


 Setup has Ended

Setup has been interrupted or has successfully completed the installation or removal of specified components.


 Publishing Directories

Type the path of the home (root) directory for each service you are installing. You can accept the default directory and place all files to be published in that directory. Unless configured otherwise, the files in that directory and all subdirectories will be available to clients.

If you have existing files to be published, type the fully qualified path to your files.

Setup does not allow network shares to be specified as root publishing directories. If your files are stored on a network share, you will need to use Internet Service Manager to configure your publishing directories after Setup has completed.


 Installation Directory

You can allow Setup to install the software in the default directory, or change directories. To select a directory, click the Change Directory button and type the new directory in the dialog box. If the installation directory does not exist, Setup will create it.
