  • Are you running the installer as administrator? – Lynn Crumbling Apr 19 '12 at 14:15
  • I m installing in Windows server 2003 on /virtual machine. – ankee Apr 20 '12 at 10:47
  • @Problems: But... are you running *as an administrator*? That is, is your current user context permitted to create virtual directories in IIS? When logged in, can you create one manually? – David Apr 20 '12 at 17:39
  • Yes.I m running as administrator ...but something wrong to setup virtual directory...i created new .exe file once again.but still same error.There are some settings related to virtual directory, with which i m not aware ...i trying to solve it... – ankee Apr 24 '12 at 10:14

You need to find out what the actual error is that is causing the rollback to occur. To do this, you'll want the installer to create a log for you.

You can do this by running the exe like this:

setup /V"/L*v c:\everything.log"

Then, look through the log file and find out where it decides to rollback (searching for "rollback", then looking just above that should get you close.)

  • @Problems: Can you just open the log file in Notepad? Or is it something other than just text? – David Apr 20 '12 at 17:31
  • @Problems: Can you copy and paste the part of the log where the error occurs? Edit your question, and add it, and we'll see what it says. – Lynn Crumbling Apr 24 '12 at 12:41
