Re: [users@httpd] win 2K install problem

you could try enabling msi logging and see if it gives any indication of why it fails:

 

msiexec /i filename.msi /L*! "c:\msiapache.txt"

this logs most things, there are different logging options (/L*v! and /L*vx! which will log much much more but can log too much ;) )

IIRC, you can opt to avoid "Creating shortcuts"

Maybe that will let it complete (optimism pays sometimes :) )
