SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000, the installation may not succeed, and you may receive the following error message:

ISA Server COM object (wspadmin.dll) cannot be registered.

0x8007007e



CAUSE
This problem may occur when the Atl.dll file is not registered to the default location. By default, the Atl.dll file is registered to the :\Windows\System32 folder, where   is a placeholder for the drive where Windows is installed. When you install a non-Microsoft program, it may register the Atl.dll file to another location.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, register the Atl.dll file to the default location before you install ISA Server 2000. To do this:
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
 * 2) At the command prompt, change to the  :\Windows\System32 folder.
 * 3) Type regsvr32 atl.dll.
 * 4) Press ENTER, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
