SC6 server cannot start after install

[tommy]

Ohh well, first bug found!

Disappointing! After installing the SC6 server as installation documentation describes, the server cannot start! After a boot the server still cannot start.

A dll is missing!

MSVCP60.dll

I tried to install on a freshly installed windows 2000 with all relevant servicepacks and security fixes installed. Nothing but operating system are on the pc.

I found the missing DLL on a different windows 2000 machine so apparently MS office must be installed?

Hi Tommy !!

I am about to install on Windows 2000 SP4 so let's see if I get the same problem as you did.

First try with the bare essentials windows 2000. Don't install office or anything like that.

Sure ...

Ok, I have done some more testing of this bug and the result is.

If using the Custom option during install, even when selecting all options the dll will be missing.

Using Complete install will correctly install the dll!

Hmm that was not quite true.

The dll was in fact installed when I installed WMware toolkit on the wmware server on which I tested this so it really is missing from the server installation package.
