Re: [IMail Forum] Installing on Windows Web Server 2008
Dana, I installed Imail 10.01 on a Windows Server 2008 a little over a week ago. I also received that error, but I investigated and found out you have to have IIS 6.0 Management installed and enabled. There might be another step or 2. Oh, It has to run in classic mode.John T eServices For You -Original Message- From: "Dana Weaver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent 11/11/2008 8:36:18 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Installing on Windows Web Server 2008Hello Jason, Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately I can't write up an exact copy of the error, at the moment, since in order to get that error I would need to attempt another install, and to do that I would need to deactivate the currently operating install. However, the basic content of the error was that it could not continue to install Imail without a running instance of a web server. It then exits from the install completely. This error occurs at the beginning of the install, immediately after you activate the license. I am planning to give it another go this Friday evening.

[IMail Forum] Installing on Windows Web Server 2008
Hello all, Has anyone managed to get IMail 10.01 to install on Windows Web Server 2008?
