SYMPTOMS

When you install the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT (NTMMTA) on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server, you may receive the following error message
Setup has encountered a problem.
Please report File=COMMON\INFO1.C, Line=### to Microsoft Product Support Services.
where ### is the line number (for example, 251). The exact line number will vary.

A dialog box is displayed that informs you that the NTMMTA installation did not finish successfully, and then the installation stops.

CAUSE

This problem can occur because the NTMMTA setup checks for Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51 before the NTMMTA setup proceeds to the file coping process. Other versions of Windows are automatically rejected.

NOTE: The NTMMTA is not supported on the Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows NT for Workstations platforms.
