SUMMARY
You can only reinstall BackOffice 4.5 Suite components by running BackOffice Setup. When you run BackOffice Setup, the SOFTWARE registry hive is queried to determine which components are already installed. If Setup detects the registry keys for the components, it marks the component as already installed and does not allow it to be reinstalled.
MORE INFORMATION
To reinstall components, you must manually remove the registry key for a specific component.
The following table shows the registry key that BackOffice Setup looks for to detect the component. These registry keys are all located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft registry key.
Registry Key | BackOffice Suite Component |
---|---|
Inetkit1 | Intranet Publishing Kit |
Inetkit2 | Intranet Collaboration Kit |
BackOffice Web Administrator | Web Administration |
BackOffice Administrator | BackOffice Administration |
BackOffice\Help | BackOffice Help Files |
The Intranet Collaboration Kit includes the Intranet Publishing Kit, so either Inetkit1 or Inetkit2 exists (but not both). For example, to reinstall the Intranet Publishing Kit on a computer that has the Intranet Collaboration Kit installed:
- Remove the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inetkit2
- Re-run BackOffice Setup and select to install the Intranet Publishing Kit and the Intranet Collaboration Kit.
