I examined your suggestions. to point 1: On the first Server ther was no NULL string, on the 2nd there was. On this Machine I kicked out the registry key containong the NULL value, rebooted, restart the installation and - get the same error: "Error 1631: The windows installer service failed to start. Contact your support personnel". to point 2: the registry on these two boxes contains the correct value "0". So the Installation should go on, but it doesn`nt. So these are the bad good news. What to do now ? Thanks in advance Holger PS: Andrew, in the meantime I`m registered at the mailing list. I think it`s a good idea to post this onto the adsm-lv List. So anotherone can participate.

Hi Holger, A couple of questions: 1) On the problem machines, did you check whether you have a NULL environment variable? This is described in the workaround in article Q251274 that you mentioned: Examine the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SessionManager\ Environment In the Environment key, look for any values where the data is NULL (i.e. empty string). If you find any, try removing that datum from the key, reboot, then retry the install. You should write down the name of the datum item so you can put it back later, if necessary. 2) The other problem we know about is one where 8.3 file name creation has been turned off. You can verify this by checking registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem In that key, look at the value for datum NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation. If the value is '1', then 8.3 name creation is disabled. To install TSM, you will need to set this value to '0', reboot, then try the install. After the install finishes, set the value back to '1' and reboot. If none of these suggestions help, then can you open a problem record with your local IBM office? We do have some customers reporting the same symptoms as you, and the above ideas do not help. At this time we are investigating them, so if you have a record open, you can be kept apprised of the progress. With kindest regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Tivoli Systems Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked." Andrew, at ADSM.org I read your article illustrating the Problems with the windows installer and TSM Client 4.1 . I updated round about 70 NT boxes, without any Problems. But on two I encountered large Trouble. After the Windows Installer has been started, the TSM Client setup should go on. But instead of this the TSM Install Process stopped and reads : "The wizard was interrupted before Tivoli Storage Manager Client could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." I installed on NT Boxes running NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, 6 , and 6a, without any trouble. The failing Machine has SP 6 and hotfixes Q147222 and Q246009 installed OS and SP`s are german, don`t know if this has any meaning for you). I tried installing by using the local Admin account, as you mentioned. Also, I stopped everything (eg. Services, batches,...) running on that box. Then I ran SETUP /V"/L*V SETUP.LOG" . The result you can find at the end of this mail. OK, that`s one Problem. The other one is known at Microsoft by the Patch Q251274. The Symtom is the Installer stopps with error 1631. They (Microsoft) suggest to exchange an dll file (userenv.dll Date:1/18/2000 Time:3:47pm Size 76,048) . But they are not sure what will happen, read the bugfixing, its a joke ( not really, it`s gloomy) . But the biggest thing is tha you can`t find this dll at Microsoft at all, not even in the net . The only dll`s I can find have different Sizes, dates, ... . This is what the log says: (soory, it`s in german) === Protokollierung gestartet: 05.03.01 15:32:00 === Aktion gestartet um 15:32:00: INSTALL.
