Msdaipp.dll Does Not Register During Setup (297075)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001
This article was previously published under Q297075

SYMPTOMS

SharePoint Portal Server Setup fails and you may receive the following error message:
MSDAIPP.DLL Failed to Register

CAUSE

SharePoint Portal Server uses this dynamic link library (DLL) to install the product. The data managed by this component is stored in the Application Data folder. If this folder exists on a remote network server (based on your group policy or roaming profile settings), the component will not successfully store data, and therefore, will return the registration failure error message.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, manually create the following folder:

%appdata%\Microsoft\Msdaipp

For example, if your Application Data folder resides on a network share \\server\profileshare\%username%, create the folder \\server\profileshare\%username%\AppData\Microsoft\Msdaipp.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
