Pre-Installation

  • Hi. I am attempting to install IIS on a Windows 2003 Standard Server (R2 SP2) 64 bit. Windows requests that I enter disc 'Service Pack 2' prompt reads: D:\amd64. It does not accept either disc that shipped with the OS (Disc 1 & Disc 2 R2)?

    Any ideas? I installed SP2 from a .exe I downloaded.

    Thanks,

    Phil.

    PS: What Options DO I need to install pre SQL 2005? I inteng to install ALL SQL tools.

    Application Server:

    Application Server Console

    Enable network COM + acsess

    IIS - Common Files / IIS Manager / SMTP? / NNTP?

  • Be sure you downloaded R2 SP2, and not R1 (base W2K3) SP2.

    If you install reporting services, you need IIS. Other than that, not sure you need to install. There's not a lot of stuff, but the SQL disc will tell you what is needed before it install.s

  • Thanks for the reply. I installed the correct SP:

    WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe

    Really stumped...............can't install IIS 🙁

  • Resolved. I had to manually extract the contents of IMS.cab from the Windows CD Disc 1. This enabled me to install fcachdll.dll for the SMTP service. The rest as they say is a mystery!!

    Hope this helps others.........maybe!!
