879.0. "5.0 RC1 Client Setup Problems" by SCASS1::HANSONL () Fri Feb 14 1997 19:37

    
    I installed the Exchange V5.0 RC1 on an NT 4.0 Alpha system with 
    SP2/Kernal Hotfix.  I also installed the Active Pages for the Internet
    access.  
    
    I seem to be having troubles installing the NT Alpha client.  I
    understand that it is a feature of the RC1 client kit for the NT client
    install to hang at the end which requires a reboot.  I did that. 
    However, I'm not sure it gets fully installed.  After setting up the
    profile, I try to open the client.  Everything appears to go ok. 
    However, as soon as I try to compose a message I get the following
    error:
    
    	The item could not be displayed.  The action could not be
    	completed.
    
    I also noticed that the Personal Address Book and Personal Folder
    Information Services are not available.  I was never prompted for the
    location of the files in the profile setup.
    
    Any suggestions?
    
    Thanks,
    	Lora

879.1Stop Exchange Services then InstallNQOS01::rdodial_port16.32.81.16.in-addr.arpa::ATKINSatkinss@mail.dec.comMon Feb 17 1997 15:319
I had the same problem.

Got around this by stopping all of the Exchange Server Services and then 
installed the Client Software on the Alpha System. I think there is a common 
DLL or something that an Exchange service has a lock on which stalls the 
client install.

Thanks,
Steve
