SUMMARY
Depending on the version of Windows 2000 you are running, and whether you are installing Site Server 3.0 only, or Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition, you may need to install a patch file, Ss3w2k.exe, prior to running the Setup program.

Specifically, Ss3w2k.exe must be installed for the following:
 * Site Server version 3.0 on Windows 2000
 * Site Server version 3.0, Commerce Edition on all versions of Windows 2000

Site Server 3.0 also requires the installation of the Site Server 3.0 Service Pack (SP) on Windows 2000 installations. Both the SP and Ss3w2k.exe can be downloaded from the following location:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a9f3dce5-1896-445e-8b6d-f08447162cd2

NOTE: Ss3w2k.exe can be downloaded by itself from either of the following locations:
 * Intel: http://download.microsoft.com/download/siteserver30/SP/3/NT4/EN-US/ss3w2k.exe
 * Alpha: http://download.microsoft.com/download/siteserver30/SP/3/ALPHA/EN-US/ss3w2k.exe

NOTE: The reason the URLs above refer to an SP3 location rather than the latest SP number is because Ss3w2k.exe was released with the SP3.

MORE INFORMATION
Site Server 3.0

Prior to installing Site Server 3.0 on computer running Windows 2000, the Ss3w2k.exe patch must be installed. This patch sets some registry keys that allow Site Server 3.0 to install correctly. The Site Server 3.0 SP needs to be installed after the Setup program is complete. Site Server 3.0 should function correctly if this patch and SP are installed.

Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition

When you install Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition, the following error messages occur:

File(s) failed to self-register.

These error messages can be ignored. Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition will install correctly with these error messages.

The SP should be applied after you install Site Server 3.0, Commerce Edition.
