SYMPTOMS
When you try to install SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft to use with Microsoft Project Server 2002, you may receive the following error messages:

Could not create subweb

Run-time error '5':

Invalid procedure call or argument



CAUSE
This issue frequently occurs in environments where you use a custom script to increase the security of the server computers. The %temp% folder becomes inaccessible because the path of the folder has been truncated or the permissions to the folder have changed.

This issue may also occur when the CD-ROM that you used to install SharePoint Team Services contains scratches or is defective. You can verify the CD-ROM by copying the contents of the Microsoft Project Server 2002 CD-ROM to a folder on the computer. If a problem exists with the CD-ROM, you may receive the following error message:

Error Copying File or folder

Cannot copy ONET: Error performing inpage operation



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, if this issue has occurred because of increased security, you can change the user environmental variable %temp% from the current temporary folder to a temporary folder where you have full administrator permissions.

To change the user variable for the %temp% user environmental variable, follow these steps:
 * 1) Log on as an administrator.
 * 2) Create a folder on the root of drive C, for example, C:\temp1.
 * 3) Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Advanced tab, and then click the Environment Variables button.
 * 5) In the System variables section, click the variable that has the name TEMP, and then click the Edit button.
 * 6) Change the default value of %SystemRoot%\TEMP to the folder that you created in step two, for example, C:\ .
 * 7) Remove the current installation of SharePoint Team Services.
 * 8) Use the SharePoint Team Services installation wizard to reinstall SharePoint Team Services.

If this issue has occurred because of damaged media, obtain a new original Microsoft Project Server 2002 CD-ROM.
