SYMPTOMS
========

When you run the Microsoft Exchange Connection Gateway Installer, there are no
components available for installation or the gateway refuses to install on the
selected disk.

CAUSE
=====

This occurs when you attempt to install the Microsoft Exchange Connection
Gateway on a Macintosh running System 7.5.3 or higher. The Installer requires
System 7.5 or 7.5.1 to install correctly.

WORKAROUND
==========

To manually install the Microsoft Exchange Connection Gateway on System 7.5.3 or
higher, follow these steps:

1. Create a folder on the hard disk called MS Exchange Connection.

2. Create a subfolder of MS Exchange Connection called DER.

3. Create a subfolder of MS Exchange Connection called Connection Installer.

4. Copy the Exchange Connection DER file from the floppy disk to the DER
  subfolder.

5. Copy the Exchange Connection Installer and GW files from the floppy disk to
  the Connection Installer subfolder.

6. Copy the MS Mail GW file into the Extensions folder.

7. Restart the Macintosh to load the MS Mail GW extension.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 4.0 of Microsoft
Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
