- Cannot install Admin Pak on Windows 2003 Server
- Posted by David Brown on May 12th, 2008
I just setup and deployed a Windows 2003 R2 SP2. When I try to run
adminpak.msi it says tells me that it can only be installed on Windows
XP......and Windows Server 2003. This is a Windows Server 2003. What needs
to be done to allow the installation on this server?

Hello David,
From what source is the adminpak?

It the installation pack is from Microsoft and is on a share drive if I
understand your question correctly. It is the same adminpak.msi I used to
install on my XP SP2 workstation.
Thanks,

Hello David,
You have to use the version from SP2, that by default is located under C:\windows\system32.
In the run line on the server type adminpak.msi and just press enter. That
one should be the right/actual installable version for the server. Also for
the client copy it from \\servername\windows\system32

Hi David,
WinServer 2003 and WinServer 2003 R2 are diff, and depending on the version
of adminpak.msi, it might not install.
Please download the latest adminpak.msi from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
It should install now.
