PRB: MSMQ Is Uninstalled When You Perform an Unattended Installation of the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack (294738)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 Option Pack
This article was previously published under Q294738

SYMPTOMS

When you perform an unattended installation of the Windows NT version 4.0 Option Pack on a computer that has MSMQ installed, MSMQ may be uninstalled.

CAUSE

The component lines for MSMQ are not included in the [Components] section of the Unattend.txt file.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, include the following lines for MSMQ in the [Components] section of the Unattend.txt file:
  • Msmq_Client_Core = ON/OFF
  • Msmq_Admin = ON/OFF
  • Msmq_Doc = ON/OFF
  • Msmq_SDK = ON/OFF
If you do not include these lines, it is the same as marking those components as OFF, and the unattended setup uninstalls MSMQ.
