A problem with the installation script, Setup.ins, in SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services SP3.

Setup.exe is a self-extracting executable that includes the updated Setup installation script file, Setup.ins.

To use the updated install script, follow these steps:
 * 1) Make a backup copy of the existing Setup.ins file that is provided with SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services SP3.
 * 2) Replace this file with the new file from the download link in this article.
 * 3) To re-create the Setup.iss file for Analysis Services SP3, run Setup.exe with the -r switch. This starts Setup in GUI mode, and records the responses during the set up. You can then use the new Setup.ins and Setup.iss files to perform a silent installation.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
