-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 
- Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 Option Pack 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you try to install Site Analyst components in the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack
for the first time by using the unattended installation procedure, the
components install successfully. However, if you remove any components and try
to reinstall them using the unattended installation procedure, some components
may not install.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, use the manual installation procedure.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Option Pack.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Site Analyst section of the Unattend.txt file contains the following:

  ; Site Analyst
  PostAcc = ON
  WebPost = ON
  SA2IIS = ON
  UsageAnalyst = ON

If you set all the components to "ON" in Unattended.txt and run the following
command line, the components fail to install:

" setup.exe /s:f:\ntopack\en\x86\winnt.srv /u:d:\temp\unattend.txt " (without the
quotation marks)

Additional query words: setup
