SYMPTOMS

When you install Internet Information Server (IIS) from the MSDN Level III Backoffice compact disc 2 Setup program, you are prompted to enter Internet compact disc 4. The Setup program then displays the following message:
Backoffice 2.0 Installer cannot find the required files in the specified path. In particular, the following file was not found:
f:\insertsrv\i386\install.exe.

CAUSE

The file Install.exe was not included on the Internet Server compact disc.

RESOLUTION

A replacement for Install.exe is posted on Microsoft's FTP server. These files are self-extracting.

For each platform the URLs are: If you run the Setup program on an I386 platform:
  1. Copy the i386 directory tree to a temporary directory on your hard drive:

    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\i386 c:\temp\i386
    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\docs c:\temp\docs
    xcopy /s d:\inetsrv\help c:\temp\help

  2. Uncompress Install.exe file from the appropriate self extracting file and place it in the C:\Temp\i386 directory.
  3. Copy the inetsrv file from the \Inetsrv directory compact disc to c:\temp (one directory level up from where Install.exe was copied).

    copy d:\inetsrv\inetsrv. c:\temp

  4. Run Install.exe from C:\Temp\i386.
If you are installing Internet Server on a RISC platform computer, substitute the appropriate directory names for your platform.
