I am installing Exchange 2010 on a new Server 2008 R2 box. I will be moving from a Windows 2003 SBS server. I have done the adprep and DCPromoed the 2008 box. When I try to install MSX 2010 I get the following error: Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 9/8/2010 8:25:03 AM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: SIDS-DATA.Sids.local Description: Faulting application name: ExSetupUI.exe, version: 14.0.639.21, time stamp: 0x4abc4f2b Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdfe0 Exception code: 0xe0434f4d Fault offset: 0x000000000000aa7d Faulting process id: 0x%9 Faulting application start time: 0x%10 Faulting application path: %11 Faulting module path: %12 Report Id: %13 Event Xml: <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Application Error" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID> <Level>2</Level> <Task>100</Task> <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2010-09-08T12:25:03.000000000Z" /> <EventRecordID>353</EventRecordID> <Channel>Application</Channel> <Computer>SIDS-DATA.Sids.local</Computer> <Security /> </System> <EventData> <Data>ExSetupUI.exe</Data> <Data>14.0.639.21</Data> <Data>4abc4f2b</Data> <Data>KERNELBASE.dll</Data> <Data>6.1.7600.16385</Data> <Data>4a5bdfe0</Data> <Data>e0434f4d</Data> <Data>000000000000aa7d</Data> </EventData> </Event> If I can get a direction to start, I would greatly appreciate it.

First question is why not start with SP1 for 2010. It is a full installation, no need to install 2010 RTM and then SP1. Start with SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=50b32685-4356-49cc-8b37-d9c9d4ea3f5b&displaylang=en Second question is have you installed all the needed hotfixes and pre-reqs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx I would turn off any AV client running during the install (if there is one).Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Ahh, I assumed the download from EOpen would be the current version. Silly wabbet... Downloading now. I will also check the hotfixes.

Hi Jeff, Any updates on your issue? Can you install Exchange 2010 now? More information: Prepare Active Directory and Domains http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224.aspxFrank Wang

Hi All, After I downloaded the exchange SP1, I have no issue when running setup.com /pl ... Thank you. Doreen
