Cause

This problem occurs when the CD that is in the drive when the Microsoft Windows Installer service starts is not the Host Integration Server 2000 CD. The service pack installation is looking for the Host Integration Server 2000 CD. However, another CD is in the drive.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in Windows Installer version 1.2.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, use the Update.exe program to install Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1. The Update.exe program automatically updates Windows Installer 2.0 so that the problem does not occur.
