The Exchange migration I did this week involved moving the current Exchange setup onto new hardware (we talked about Exchange 2007 \/ Windows Server 2008 but the client was going with the “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” viewpoint combined with a tight budget!)<\/p>\n

After I’d installed Exchange on the new hardware one of the first things I did was install Service Pack 2<\/p>\n

I got the following error<\/p>\n

Setup failed while installing sub-component Exchange ActiveSync with error code 0xC0070643 (please consult the installation logs for a detailed description).\u00a0 You may cancel the installation or try the failed setup again<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This rang a bell and sure enough a quick look on Susan’s blog found the following posts which pointed to a registry key for the XML Parser in place that needed to be deleted<\/p>\n

Okay I have a problem with my Exchange 2003 sp2<\/a><\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

Exchange 2003 sp2 success on my home server!<\/a><\/p>\n

and picture of the error here<\/a><\/p>\n

Thing is this was a brand new installation. So there wasn’t anything else that had installed the XML Parser so no registry key to delete!<\/p>\n

After a bit more digging I found this post by Colin Bowern<\/p>\n

Exchange 2003 SP2 Install Fails because of MSXML<\/a><\/p>\n

But my error message was different to the above and Susan’s<\/p>\n

I basically got<\/p>\n

Product: Microsoft XML Parser — Product Installation failed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well thanks.<\/p>\n

So I located the msxml3.msi file in the Exchsrvr\\bin<\/em> directory and tried to run it manually. I simply got the same error<\/p>\n

Obviously the setup was trying to install using that MSI and failing so I borrowed the trick Colin mentions in his post<\/p>\n

  • Download the Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 (Service Pack 7 is the version i used)<\/a><\/li>\n
  • Rename the existing msxml3.msi<\/em> in Exchsrvr\\bin to msxml3.msi.original<\/span> (or whatever works for you!)<\/li>\n
  • Place a copy of the latest file you downloaded inside Exchsrvr\\bin<\/li>\n
  • Rename it to msxml3.msi.\u00a0 This will leave you with msxml3.msi<\/em> and msxml3.msi.original <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Click Retry on the error and it should continue as planned.\n

    This worked for me so I’m making a note here in case I need it again!<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
