Symptoms

When you install Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, you may receive the following error message:
Setup failed while Configuring registry entries for Exchange System Management Snap-ins
(error 0xC103798A: An internal component has failed.)

Additional information:
The command regsvr32.exe -s maqadmin.dll failed, returning error code 3 (The system cannot find the path specified.).

Cause

If any component of Exchange Server 5.5 was previously installed on this server (and not completely uninstalled), the 5.5 version of the Exchmem.dll file causes the conflict.

Workaround

Before you run Exchange 2000 Setup, rename the existing Exchmem.dll to Exchmem.old. Exchange 2000 copies in the appropriate Exchmem.dll file during setup.
