 * Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

SUMMARY
When you install the Visual InterDev Server components, which include Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) on a computer that is running Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), you may receive a series of errors that begin with the following error message:

Sysocmgr: Sysocmgr has caused an error in

After the installation completes, you may receive the following message:

Microsoft Transaction Server setup was not completed successfully.

You must successfully install MTS in order for PWS to function correctly. Otherwise, PWS appears to run, but you cannot connect to PWS from within Visual InterDev.

NOTE: If you are running Visual InterDev with its server components on a Windows 98-based computer, and you upgrade to Windows Me, the Windows Me upgrade will not affect the functionality of PWS or MTS; these components function as they did prior to the upgrade. If you are not upgrading from Windows 98, see the &quot;More Information&quot; section to follow.

MORE INFORMATION
The Visual InterDev installation usually consists of the client installation and the server components installation. This article assumes that you already have Visual InterDev client installed and only describes how to install the Visual InterDev server components.

To successfully install the Visual InterDev server components on a Windows Me-based computer, perform the following steps:

NOTE: If you are not upgrading from Windows 98, and you have received the error messages in step five when you attempted to install Visual InterDev, you can skip to step six.

NOTE: If you are installing Microsoft FrontPage 98 or Microsoft FrontPage 2000, you may encounter the same issue that is described in this article, although you do not receive any errors during the installation of these products. If you resolve this issue with Visual InterDev, you also resolve it with FrontPage 98 and FrontPage 2000.

Install Visual InterDev Server Components
 Insert the Visual InterDev installation CD-ROM # 2. Run the Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup from NTOPTPAK\X86\Win.95\Setup.exe. In the Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup, when you are prompted to select Minimum, Typical, or Custom, click the Custom button. When the list of components is displayed, select the following check boxes:

 Common Program Files Microsoft Data Access Components 1.5 Personal Web Server (PWS) Transaction Server

NOTE: Windows Me comes with Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5, and it will not be replaced.</li> Clear the remaining check boxes.</li>  During the installation process, you may receive the following error messages, which begin when the MTS components are registered:

Sysocmgr: Sysocmgr has caused an error in. Sysocmgr will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer.

Click Close to continue.

Microsoft Transaction Server Setup: Unable to load \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Mtxex.dll. A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. Error code = 0x0000045a.

Click OK to continue.

Windows Setup: Setup of &quot;Transaction Server Core Components&quot; failed. The specific error code is 0xfee670. Setup will continue but the component may not function properly.

Click OK to continue.

PWS-error: CreateIISPackage or DeleteIISPackage, 0x80040154, Class not registered.

Click OK to continue.

PWS-error: CreateInProc:AppCreate, 0x80040154. Class not registered.

This error message appears multiple times. Click OK to continue each time.

When the setup is complete, you may receive the following error message:

Microsoft Transaction Server setup was not completed successfully.

Click OK to continue.

NOTE: Although the PWS icon is visible in your Windows System Tray, PWS does not function properly at this time.

Restart your computer when you are prompted. </li></ol>

Uninstall Server Components
<ol> After you restart your computer, on the Start menu, point to Programs, and then point to Microsoft Personal Web Server. Click Personal Web Server Setup.</li> In Personal Web Server Setup, click Next, and then click Add/Remove. Clear the Transaction Server check box. Click Yes to proceed with the operation.</li> To remove the other components, click Yes, and then click Next. It may seem counter-intuitive to remove the components that you have just installed; however, after extensive testing, we determined that this is the quickest and least invasive way to solve this problem.</li>  As you remove the components, you receive the following error message:

PWS-error: CreateIISPackage or DeleteIISPackage, 0x80040154, Class not registered.

Click OK to continue. </li> After you remove the components, restart your computer.</li></ol>

Replace Mtxex.dll
To reinstall Visual InterDev server components, perform the following steps:

Download the following file from the Microsoft Download Center to a location of your choice:

"Mtxex.dll (Version 1998.1.543.0)" Release Date: Oct-16-2000

For more information about how to download files from the Microsoft Download Center, please visit the Download Center at the following Web address

"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp" and then click How to use the Microsoft Download Center.

Microsoft used the most current virus detection software available on the date of posting to scan this file for viruses. Once posted, the file is housed on secure servers that prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

Start Windows Explorer. To start Windows Explorer on a Windows Me-based computer, perform the following steps:

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the Start menu, point to Programs.</li> Point to Accessories, and click Windows Explorer.</li></ol>

Locate the Mtxex.dll file, and copy Mtxex.dll to your clipboard.

Browse to the <drive letter>\Windows\System directory, and locate Mtxex.dll (version 1997.11.532.0). To check the version, right-click the file, click Properties, and then click Version.

Rename the Mtxex.dll file &quot;Mtxex.old,&quot; and then copy the new Mtxex.dll to the <drive letter>\Windows\System folder.

NOTE: Normally, you use Regsvr32 /u <FileName> to unregister a dynamic link library (.dll) file before you rename it. In this case, if you try to unregister the old Mtxex.dll, you receive an error.

To register the new Mtxex.dll, on the Start menu, click Run, and then type the following command:

"regsvr32 Mtxex.dll" NOTE: If your Windows\System folder is located somewhere other than at C:\Windows\System, you must include the entire path to the file rather than just the file name, for example:

"regsvr32 E:\Windows\System\Mtxex.dll" After you press ENTER, you receive a message that the registration succeeded.

Install the Personal Web Server and Microsoft Transaction Server
Insert the Visual InterDev installation CD-ROM # 2. Run the Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup from NTOPTPAK\X86\Win.95\Setup.exe.

In the Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup, when you are prompted to select Minimum, Typical, or Custom, click the Custom button.

When the list of components is displayed, select the Personal Web Server check box. This automatically selects the Transaction Server check box. Click Next to continue the installation.

Accept the default locations for the WWW Service (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot) and MTS Install Folder (C:\Program Files\MTS), if these locations are appropriate for your system.

Continue the installation, and restart your computer when prompted. You can now complete the installation without error.

To install the FrontPage Server Extensions, start the Personal Web Server Setup again. From the Start menu, point to Programs, and then point to Microsoft Personal Web Server. Click Personal Web Server Setup.

In the Personal Web Server Setup, select FrontPage Server Extensions, and click Next to continue the installation.

Restart your computer when you are prompted. At this point, you can successfully connect to your Personal Web Server from within Visual InterDev.

If you cannot connect to your Personal Web Server, and you installed the FrontPage Server Extensions during a previous installation, you may need to configure the FrontPage Server Extensions manually. To do this, perform the following steps:

<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the Start menu, point to Programs, and then point to Microsoft Personal Web Server. Click FrontPage Server Administrator.</li> Under select server or port, Default Web Site is listed. Click Install.</li> In the drop-down list box, select Microsoft Personal Web Server, and then click OK twice. This completes the installation.</li> You receive a confirmation message that the installation completed successfully. You can now successfully connect to your Personal Web Server from within Visual InterDev.</li></ol>
