SYMPTOMS

When you try to install Microsoft Speech Server 2004 on an x64 Edition-based version of Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the Speech Server 2004 Setup program verifies all the prerequisites that are required to install Speech Engine Services. However, during the installation process, the Setup program conducts an additional prerequisite verification. During this verification, the Setup program cannot locate Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the Speech Server 2004 Setup program searches for the Inetinfo.exe file in the Windows\sysWOW64\inetsrv folder on the Windows x64 Edition-based computer. However, when you install the IIS 6.0 components on a Windows x64 Edition-based computer, the Inetinfo.exe file is saved in the Windows\System32\inetsrv folder.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, copy the Inetinfo.exe file from the Windows\system32\inetsrv folder to the Windows\sysWOW64\inetsrv folder on the Windows x64 Edition-based computer.
