Windows Services for UNIX installer Information Error 26149. Installation of Telnet Server failed.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do not install the Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 Telnet client or Telnet server on Windows XP.



MORE INFORMATION
Because the Windows XP Telnet client and Telnet server are later versions than the Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 Telnet client and Telnet server, Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 Setup stops working during the installation of the Telnet client and/or Telnet server. Because of this, the entire installation stops and rolls back.
