SYMPTOMS
When you run the Exchange 2000 setup.exe /disasterrecovery command, the following error message may be logged in the Setup log:

[17:29:20] Interpreting line 

[17:29:20] Process created ... waiting (60000)

[17:29:20] Process has exited with 0x000005

[17:29:20] The command

regsvr32 /s cdowfevt.dll

failed, returning error code 5 (Access is denied.). ScCreateProcess (K:\admin\src\libs\exsetup\hiddenw1.cxx:1763)

Error code 0XC103798A (31114): An internal component has failed.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if Setup incorrectly searches other COM+ applications for the WorkFlow event sink. Only the application that is explicitly registered should be searched.

RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server service pack that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:

http://support.microsoft.com/directory/overview.asp

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

Component: Setup

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.

MORE INFORMATION
For the new Setup program to function correctly, you need to use the Cdowfevt.dll file from the fix in the &quot;Resolution&quot; section of this article to replace the associated file in an Exchange 2000 network Setup that is copied to a read and write location. You also need to change the Server.inf file to reflect the modified file. In the Server.inf file, change the following line from

"BIN\CDOWFEVT.DLL=1,,131344,0" to

"BIN\CDOWFEVT.DLL=1,,size_of_new_file,0" Additional query words: cdowfevt E2K setup exch2kp2w
