https://community.hpe.com/t5/integrity-servers/installing-windows-server-2003/m-p/3782548#M1657 I'm trying to install Windows server 2003 on Integrity 7640 (headless console), but the installation process keeps failing. I use the Smart Setup CD v4, starting an Express Windows installation through this. The installation proceeds without errors until just after entering the windows key - now the installation reports several files are missing i.e.:<BR /><BR />msvcrt.dll, fxsxp32.dll, instmsia.exe<BR /><BR />Am I installing uncorrectly or do I have a hardware error????<BR /><BR />Finally when the installation is done (with errors), I start a 'cmd' typing ipconfig and no NIC's are reported. So I really haven't got much to work with here.<BR /><BR />Can anybody help??
