SYMPTOMS

When you install the Small Business Server (SBS) 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Upgrade Pack from the CD media, you can select a Microsoft Outlook 2002 Setup.exe file that exists in a location other than the CD. If you go to an other location (instead of installing the Setup.exe file from the CD), the Outlook installation does not start even after you enter the correct path to the Setup.exe file. You are repeatedly prompted to select the correct path for the Outlook Setup.exe file. If you click Cancel, you receive the following error message:

Error 1722: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
