And then one day Jeff L said,
Jeff -
I'm having the same issue with companyweb. I've run through the gamut of
deleting, modifying the registry, etc., still no luck. Even did a reinstall
with the new disk three in place--still no luck. I'm kind of surprised
there isn't an automated patch to do all of this for you. Anyway, let me
know if you get this to work. I'm officially stumped.

>> Hi Curt,
>>
>> Thanks for posting here.
>>
>> Have you tried the suggestions by Marina to totally reinstall the
> sharepoint service? I list the detailed steps for your reference.
>>
>> I. Uninstall Intranet
>>
>> 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove
> Programs.
>> 2. Select Windows Small Business Server 2003 and then click Change/Remove.
> The Setup Wizard appears.
>> 3. Click Next to start the wizard.
>> 4. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.
>> 5. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, change Server
> Tools to Maintenance, change Intranet component to
>> Remove, and then click Next.
>> 6. On the Component Summary page, click Next.
>> 7. Click Finish.
>>
>>
>> II. Uninstall Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (SHAREPOINT)
>>
>> In Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine
> (SHAREPOINT) and then click Remove. A dialog box
>> appears. To confirm that you want to remove, click Yes.
>>
>>
>> III. Delete Registry Keys
>>
>> 1. Delete
> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Intranet
>> 2. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
> Server\SHAREPOINT
>> 3. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server
> Extensions\Ports\Port /LM/W3SVC/4:
>> (Do not delete "Port /LM/W3SVC/1:" because it is FronPage Server Extension
> 2002 which is installed on the Default WebSite. If you
>> see additional "Port /LM/W3SVC/X:", backup and then remove them)
>>
>>
>> IV. Delete IIS Virtual Directory
>>
>> 1. Delete SharePoint Central Administration (Do Not Delete Microsoft
> SharePoint Administration. It belongs to FronPage Server
>> Extension)
>> 2. Delete Companyweb
>>
>> Note: If AV software install any extra IIS virtual directory, also remove
> them if possible. They sometimes use port 8081 which will
>> conflict with our SharePoint Central Administration virtual directory.
>>
>>
>> V. Delete Application Pool
>>
>> There should be only 4 application pools (DefaultAppPool,
> ExchangeApplicationPool, ExchangeMobileBrowseApplicationPool, and
>> MSSharePointAppPool). Besides those 4, delete all the extra.
>>
>> VI. Rename Folders
>>
>> 1. Rename C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT
>> 2. Rename C:\Inetpub\companyweb
>>
>>
>> VII. Install the intranet component
>>
>> 1. In Add or Remove Programs, select Windows Small Business Server 2003
> and then click Change/Remove. The Setup Wizard
>> appears.
>> 2. Click Next.
>> 3. On the Windows Configuration page, click Next.
>> 4. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, change Server
> Tools to Maintenance, change Intranet component to
>> Install, and then click Next.
>> 5. On the Logon Information page, click Next.
>> 6. On the Component Summary page, click Next.
>> 7. Click Finish.
>>
>>
>> VIII. The Installation should still fail, then apply the patch located at:
> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
>> FamilyId=CB7E90A1-DE9D-4A83-85F8-951E9F055BF0&displaylang=en

>> |
