SYMPTOMS
During Windows 2000 installation, if you import an LMHOSTS file from a floppy disk and remove the floppy disk before Windows 2000 setup has completed, you may receive the following error message when setup initiates COM+ component installation and configuration:

COM+ Setup Error

Sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processing the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message. ...\ccompluscore.cpp (line 464)

ERROR CODE = 0x80110801 Setup failed to initialize the COM+ catalog.

COM+ will not operate correctly without the catalog.



CAUSE
This error occurs because the &quot;working directory&quot; has been changed to the floppy disk when you select the LMHOSTS file. Because the floppy disk has been removed from the drive, COM+ setup cannot write a catalog file to the drive.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Do not remove the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive until setup has completed.
 * Import the LMHOSTS file from a location on your local hard disk or partition.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start Windows 2000 setup.
 * 2) On the Network Settings page, click Custom settings, and then click Next.
 * 3) On the Network Components page, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
 * 4) In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click Advanced.
 * 5) In the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box, on the WINS tab, click Import LMHOSTS, and insert the floppy disk that contains your LMHOSTS file.
 * 6) In the Look in drop-down list box, click 3.5-inch floppy (A:), select the file, and then click Open.
 * 7) Click OK twice to close the Advanced TCP/IP Settings and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog boxes.
 * 8) Remove the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive.
 * 9) In the Network Components dialog box, click Next to continue with setup. During the COM+ installation and configuration, setup tries to access the floppy disk drive, and you receive the above-mentioned error message.
