Summary

Unknown error (0x80005000) on Webtrends Installation

Issue

Webtrends requires IIS 6 Compatibility Components to be installed prior to installation. If these are not installed prior to installing Webtrends, the installation will fail. Below will be the result if these are not installed along with information on how to correct it.

During installation of the product, when installing the Main Application and UI Server components, the installation fails with a return code of 1603. Examination of the configureIIS.log, located in the the \Webtrends\logs\install folder, displays something similar to the following:

[4:49:10 PM]: Enabling ASPNET v2.0.50727 WebService Extension
[4:49:11 PM]: *** ERROR ***

at DotNetInstallLibrary.UIServer.InstallIISConfiguration(Int32 iisVersion, String ipAddress, String port, String installPath, String pathComponent, String uncUsername, String uncPassword)

Examination of the Setup.log, located in the same folder, shows something similar:

Resolution

The presence of both of these error messages, specifically “Unknown error (0x80005000),” indicates a need to install the IIS 6 Compatibility Components. Microsoft has provided a solution for this issue, found at the following URL:
