The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Windows Services for UNIX Version 2.0, you may receive the
following error message:

  Error 26151. Installation of Telnet Client failed.

CAUSE
=====

This issue can occur if the Windows 2000 Telnet client and server files are
missing when Windows Services for Unix Setup attempts to back them up.

NOTE: If you uninstall a beta version of Services for Unix, you may remove these
files.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, restore the Telnet client and server files from the
Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

Type the following commands at a command prompt, pressing ENTER after each
command:

  copy <CD-ROM>:\i386\telnet.exe <WINNT>\system32
  expand -r <CD-ROM>:\i386\tlntsvr.ex_ <WINNT>\system32
  expand -r <CD-ROM>:\i386\tlntsvrp.dl_ <WINNT>\system32
  expand -r <CD-ROM>:\i386\tlntsess.ex_ <WINNT>\system32

where <WINNT> is the system folder in which Windows is installed and
<CD-ROM> is your CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.
