SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Installation Wizard, you may not be able to change the installation path with the Change Folder button on the Component Selection page during Setup.



CAUSE
The option to change the location where to install files is not available after you select any component for installation; the Change Folder button is dimmed.



RESOLUTION
Before selecting any component to install, first click the root Microsoft Exchange 2000 under Component Name, and then change the folder you want to install files under.



WORKAROUND
Click the Next button, and then on the following screen click the Back button to reactivate the Change Folder button.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Most administrators proceed from top down and select components to install, and then try to change the installation path with the Change Folder button but can't, as this is how Setup works.
