IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.



SYMPTOMS
When you install Site Server version 3.0, the following error message may occur:

System Requirements

Your system must meet the requirements in the System Requirements list below before Microsoft Site Server can be installed on this computer. The required components can be found on the Windows NT Option Pack CD or in the Support directory on the Site Server CD. The System Recommendations box indicates the current and recommended settings for your computer. If the System Requirements list is empty, click Next to continue Setup. If your system is missing any requirements, click Exit Setup, install or configure the necessary requirements, and then run Setup again.

System requirements: Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher

NOTE: This error can occur even though Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later is installed and working correctly on the computer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the registry key that the Site Server installation program uses to verify the version of Internet Explorer is missing.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\Software\Microsoft\IE4

 On the Edit menu, click Add Key, and then add the following registry key:

Key Name: Setup

 Click the new key created in step 3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value Name: Path

Data Type: REG_SZ

Value: 

</li> Quit Registry Editor.</li> Restart the Site Server Setup program.</li></ol>
