Why are you trying to install Certificate Services this way? I would
never, ever recommend that you install Certificate Services in this
fashion.

You might want to have a look at the white papers on the PKI portal,
www.microsoft.com/pki. Specifically the Best Practices one.

I do a ton of PKI deployments, and PKI is not something you can get
almost correct. Also, since even a very large organization is not going
to require a ton of CAs, I don't see the benefit in installing this way.
