WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Open the registry of the computer and go to the following location:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\NWGINA.DLL

Change Nwgina.dll to Msgina.dll.
Restart the server and run the setup program again.

If you choose not to replace the registry entry, there may be future problems with the Systems Management Server Executive service not responding due to remote procedure call (RPC) problems caused by the Nwgina.dll.
