    Hi all,

    I have a Windows 2000 Server with SP3 (fully patched), and (this is
    important) with IIS installed by default which means all the extensions were
    still there (like .htr, .htw, etc...).

    I installed SP4 (network installation) and in the end I was presented with a
    messagebox:

    - title "sp4iis"
    - msg "unable to write scriptmaps metabase entry"

    I pressed ok and then another messagebox:

    - title "sp4iis"
    - msg (this one I am not 100% sure) "regsvr32 failed. the error was 5"

    I tried the installation 2 more times with always the same result.
    Next, I went to IIS and removed .htr and .htw and .idq and .ida extensions
    and tried again.

    This time no error was logged and everything went ok.

    Has anyone been presented with a similar behavior ?

    Regards,
    Tiago Halm
