SYMPTOMS
When you use a non-administrative account to install an SNA Server Service Pack, an error message about a missing component appears at the beginning of the update process. The message does not indicate which component is missing.
CAUSE
The Update program incorrectly reports a missing component error message if the logged on user does not have Admin rights.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
- Before running the Update program, log on to the system with an account that has administrative privileges.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP2.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, a check examines administrative privileges before running the update. A message appears that states:
Installing this service pack requires administrative privileges.
