I'm trying to install the express edition on a windows 2003 server.

I get the an error after specifying the fix pack directory :
"Fix pack was511_cf3_win cannot be applied to product type was511_cf3_win."

Here's the end of the WASFixPack.log :

Any idea ?

Are you using the GUI to install, or trying to use command line?

The cf in 'was511_cf3_win' stands for Cumulative Fix, its not a Fix Pack. Yo
u should use the -fix option to the installer not the -fixpack option.

Though I can't see how the error would occur if your using the GUI.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
