You receive error 1706 while you install Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (832482)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 SP1

SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you may receive the following error message:
Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 SP 1. The Windows installer cannot continue.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the CD that is in the drive when the Microsoft Windows Installer service starts is not the Host Integration Server 2000 CD. The service pack installation is looking for the Host Integration Server 2000 CD. However, another CD is in the drive.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in Windows Installer version 1.2.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use the Update.exe program to install Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1. The Update.exe program automatically updates Windows Installer 2.0 so that the problem does not occur.

If the error message in the "Symptoms" section occurs again, use the workaround.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Copy the Hiserver.msi file from the Host Integration Server 2000 CD to the local hard disk.
  2. Rerun the Update.exe program from either the Host Integration Server 2000 SP1 CD or from a network share resource.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in Windows Installer version 1.2. This bug was corrected in Windows Installer version 2.0.
