Guest Yeagermeister Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I'm trying to install SNMP on a Windows 2003/SP2 box. During the Setup process, it asks for the Windows Server 2003 CD because it needs to copy certain .dll files. Sometimes it asks for a Service Pack 2 CD. And it doesn't ask for the same .dll file every time. In either case, I put the appropriate CD in the drive and point the wizard to the file it's looking for (the file is always there), but it keeps coming back and saying it cannot copy the file. An example: right now it's asking for the snmpmib.dll on the Windows 2003 Sever CD. When I put the CD in and point it directly to the file it just keeps coming back and asking for the file again. I tried making new copies of the CD and have also cached both of them to a CD tower and pointed the Wizard to the installation files on the LAN. I have gone through this exact same process with 15 other servers and have not had a problem. For some reason, I cannot get SNMP on this one server. Anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction. -- Yeagermeister ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yeagermeister's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=27885 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=783052 http://forums.techarena.in
Guest Darrell Gorter[MSFT] Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 RE: Unable To Install Additional Windows Components Hello, Is is asking for snmpmib.dll or snmpmib.dl_? The compressed or uncompressed file. It should be compressed on the OS CD. SP2 was installed after the OS, so the source media was different for each installation. So the prompt is because the system knows which file was updated by SP2 thus it prompts for the SP install cd when it needs the updated file. This is controlled by the layout.inf file. Does it fail when copying from across the network share as well?

Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 RE: Unable To Install Additional Windows Components You make want to make a new CD (or installation point on your network) of your Windows Server media and slipstream the Service Pack into it so it'll have the correct version of files for whatever install you are doing.

Guest Yeagermeister Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Re: Unable To Install Additional Windows Components Thanks for your responses. Before trying the slipstream CD, I decided to reboot the server and try again, just based on the fact that every time I tried to install SNMP, the file it wanted was different. Turns out the server reboot worked like a charm. After that, the install went without a hitch and didn't prompt for any file locations at all. Thanks again for taking the time to respond! -- Yeagermeister ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yeagermeister's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=27885 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=783052 http://forums.techarena.in
