Web Publishing Engine Installation Failure...

[Freeman]

I am trying to install FMSA 7 Web Publishing Engine on a Windows 2003 Server SE running IIS 6. I get the following error at the end of the installation process:

"Opening Key /LM/W3SVC/1/Root Failed ...default"

my only option is to select "Ok" which then leads to a final screen stating that the installation was interrupted and not successful.

I noticed that the "Filemaker Publishing Engine" service does not appear in the Services Manager. I am unable to access the Web Publishing Console from the http://localhost/fmi/config.

I also took note that the Global ISAPI filter installed by this causes the my app pools on my IIs web server to stop working.

Has anyone else encountered this error. I have scrubbed the internet for possible solutions and have come up empty handed. I also spoke with Filemaker Tech support for about an hour with no success.

Hmm seems like reformat the server with win2003 and add iis6.

use admin account , install FMS on it than FMAS . Must be same machine, easier to troubleshoot.

If doesn't work drop to win2000 with Sp4 (i think)
