Services Needed During Project Server 2003 Installation

[Cory K. Walker]

I have a Windows Server 2003 machine configured to the extreme for security.
Most of the services that ship with it - the ones that automatically start
when the machine boots are disabled.

The Project Server 2003 installation terminates and does a complete
rollback. I've isolated it to the fact that some services are disabled or
manual/not running but have not determined exactly what the installation
script needs in order to fully complete.

Does anyone know which services are required for the installation?

Check the installation log - should be an entry describing the point of
failure at the end somewhere...
If you can't find the log, there's some switches that can be added to the
execution of the msi file if running from the command prompt that will give
you a setup log - I remember reading about it in the reskit on technet
somewhere...

The logs are viewable by opening up the %temp% directory. They are big and
difficult to read - it is not clear where the installation fails.

I think what I'll have to do is create an automated install and knock off 1
service at a time to figure this one out.
