MQSeries.net :: View topic - MQ 6.0 Installation Trashing 2003 Server.

I suspect it's a conflict in terms of DLLs between the MQ installation and an older application which could be wrongly replacing the DLLs in the system32 directory but...

When I install the base MQ6.0 package after eclipse I get to the end and find the following:

1. The MQ (Eclipse) explorer does not work. On startup is errors and states that a log can be found in "C:\Document" which is a badly parsed reference to "C:\Documents and Settings". As such it renders the installation usless unless I use the dos commands to manage MQ.

2. The windows installer no longer works (msiexec). It complains about a missing entry point which clearly points to a dll issue. Which in turn makes it impossible to remove or update the MQ installation or any other installed application or service pack

3. None of the mmc based management tools work. They simply hang or present blank screens.

The server installation is 2003 with SP1 installed. I could potentially list the other apps but it's a little sensitive and quite a few are proprietry.

Any ideas? I have attempted this 3 times now with constent results and no reported error during the installation.

Thanks
