Every time I try to install Commerce Server 2002 on our Windows 2003 Server 
I get the following error:

Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition
Error 1720.  There is a problem with this windows installer package.  A scri
pt required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your sup
port personnel or package vendor.

If I ever get the first installed, I could move onto installing Commerce Ser
ver 2002 SP2, SP3, and enabling the required services.

I've followed all the directions on
http://www.microsoft.com/commercese...eb_install_cota

without any luck - i.e. installing the prereqs of:

2003 critical updates
VB6.0 Runtime SP5
SQL Server 2K SP3
SQL Server 2K Analysis Services SP3
XP office Web components
Visual Studio .NET 2003

I have been trying to do the install without using the Active Directory Serv
ices and have been specifying a specific username and password for SQL Serve
r authentication instead, although I think it fails regardless of which opti
on I choose.

Thanks,
Burt

This seems to have been either a security problem, or is related to installi
ng via Terminal Services.  I tried numerous times to reinstall everything th
rough Terminal Services (sometimes as my userid, sometimes as the local admi
n) to no avail.  When I ins
talled only locally as the local Administrator, it worked.

Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroups.

It is usually a good troubleshooting practice when using TS to attempt
locally.  You remove the TS layer and get an actual error or install
successfully.  Also review kb article Q255582 -
