Groove Server 2007 Installation

[Jason Hall]

Im really getting fed up of trying with this, they havn't made it simple at
all.

i have tried more then 10 times to install the groove server 2007 with
different methods and each time getting the same error.

The page loads but without the management.aspx loading.
