Installing I/Gear DTU on Windows Server 2003
MSDE
The version of the Microsoft Data Engine that is included with I/Gear will report as not supported by Windows Server 2003. During the installation process, the following window will be displayed:
SQL Server 7.0 will install and run properly, however. Simply click “Continue” to continue the installation.
If SQL Server has already been installed and there is a password on the "sa" account, the I/Gear database will not be installed properly. It will need to be attached manually.
Scripting Engine
The Windows Scripting Host that is included with I/Gear is incompatible with Windows Server 2003. A proper version can be downloaded from:

COM+
The I/Gear scripting engine and any DataLinks installed in isolation use COM+. In Windows Server 2003, in order for COM+ packages to run properly they must have special roles configured for each one. This is not currently part of the I/Gear 5.3 and earlier installation package and has to be done manually after installing I/Gear on Windows Server 2003.
Open COM+ by going to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Component Services.
Under Component Services you should see Computers then My Computer*, and then COM+ Applications. Under COM+ Applications you should see a list that includes the “I-Gear Scripting Engine” and any other DataLinks running in isolation.
Under each DataLink in the navigation tree there should be three folders; Components, Legacy Components and Roles. Right click on “Roles” and select “New” then “Role”. Title the role “Administrators” and click “OK”.
Next, beneath the role, right click on users and select “New” then “User”. From that window, select “Groups” as an available object and type in “Administrators”. Click “OK”.
Repeat this process for all of the DataLinks running in isolation.
When these steps are completed, restart I/Gear and test the DataLinks.
