Re: federated services

You should be able to run it from Add/Remove Programs. I'm not sure why you
got the error you got when you ran the MSI directly as I think that should
work too, but that's not the way you are supposed to do it.

This may sound silly, but are you logged in as an administrator?
Additionally, is the server either a DC or a member server in a domain?

If you want more detail on the error message from MSI, you could try running
the MSI from the command line with logging enabled:

msiexec -i adfs.msi -l*v c:\adfsinst.txt

Those logs are not easy to interpret unless you are an MSI developer, but it
might be helpful to someone. :)

hi all,

trying to install federated services onto server 2003 enterprise
edition r2. followed the ADFS step by step guide on the MS website and
everything was going great until I went to install the federated
services. It said in the guide that the Federated Services would
appear under the Active Directory Services dialog box, in the add/
remove windows components window.

Only problem is that the Active Directory Services dialog box doesn't
appear to be in the add/remove windows component window.

I've searched the install disk - and found the ADFS.MSI file on the
2nd disk. Tried to install it, and it said:

"Error writing to file: System.Web.Security.SingleSignOn.dll. Verify
that you have access to that directory."

After hitting retry i get another error message with an error code
2350 - also says there may be a problem with the package.

I'm running the server under virtual pc 2007, with 1Gb RAM and an
intel P4 Processor - 20Gb HDD given to the the VPC.

Any ideas?

Has any body got any suggestions?
