SYMPTOMS

If you try to install Site Analyst components in the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack for the first time by using the unattended installation procedure, the components install successfully. However, if you remove any components and try to reinstall them using the unattended installation procedure, some components may not install.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use the manual installation procedure.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.

MORE INFORMATION

The Site Analyst section of the Unattend.txt file contains the following:
   ; Site Analyst
   PostAcc = ON
   WebPost = ON
   SA2IIS = ON
   UsageAnalyst = ON
				

If you set all the components to "ON" in Unattended.txt and run the following command line, the components fail to install:
