---------------The AdminPak.msi file will ONLY install on
1. Windows XP Professional build 2600 with QFE Q329357 or
2. Windows XP Professional SP1 or
3. Windows Server 2003
Using it on any other build or product is not supported as the install will stop
with an error stating:
Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack can only be installed on Windows X
P Professional with QFE Q329357 applied, on Windows XP Professional Service Pack
1 or later, or on computers running Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
The AdminPak.msi file cannot be installed on any version of Windows 2000, or on
Windows NT 4 servers. To manage servers from Windows 2000 machines you can insta
ll the Windows 2000 version of AdminPak.msi on your Windows 2000 machine.
Microsoft recommends that you download the final version of the adminpak.msi fil
e from www.microsoft.com/downloads and use it instead of the older beta or RC ve
rsions. However, you MUST uninstall earlier builds before installing the final
version. To uninstall the AdminPak.msi file, go to the "Add / Remove" option in
Control Panel and select the AdminPak and remove it. Or you can double click on
the AdminPak.msi file or right click and run it, then select "uninstall" from t
he wizard. If you have problems uninstalling the older beta 3 AdminPak.msi file
see the KB article Q238413 for information on the msizap and msciuu tools (foun
d in the support tools msi package on the Windows CD) which can remove old msi p
ackages.
