PRB: Problems Installing the MSAA SDK (181666)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q181666 SYMPTOMS
When you are installing the Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) SDK, you
may receive the following server error message:
Serial Number Validation Failed
CAUSE
This message is a result of rounding problems when the system performs the
CRC (cyclic redundancy check) on the unique serial number. Because the
installation program randomly generates this serial number, forcing it to
generate a new serial number usually results in a successful install.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, reinstall the SDK. Because a different
serialization number will be generated for each new installation, the
problem is not likely to reoccur.
STATUS
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
