If you could elaborate as to exactly how to install the Admin Tools to a
different folder I would be very appreaciative.
I'm having the same problem with the admin tools after performing in place
upgrades on Windows 2000 servers, and as far as I can tell, the Adminpak.msi
installer package does not give the option to install to any location other
than default.
KB article said that installation problems with W2K3 Admin Tools after an in
place upgrade are a known issue, and that the fix was to run ADMINPAK.MSI
from the System 32 directory, as opposed to the running it from the CD. This
worked on some of the upgraded machines, but not on all.
For the one on which it didn't work, I can now neither uninstall the W2K
Admin Tools, nor install the W2K3 Admin Tools. Can't go back. Can't go
forward.
Any help would be appreciated.
