Unexpected or Inexplicable Setup Results

Setup always searches for an Msmqinst.ini file, even if you are installing MSMQ from the MSMQ CD. If Setup unexpectedly reads default settings from Msmqinst.ini, your MSMQ dependent client, independent client, or server can be installed with settings you did not specify.

Setup searches for this file in several different locations, depending on the operating system you are running. Setup uses the first Msmqinst.ini file it finds.

On computers running Windows 95, Setup first searches for the Msmqinst.ini file in the following places:

1. The Windows folder
2. The default folder (the folder from which you are running Setup)

On computers running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server, Setup first searches for the Msmqinst.ini file in the following places:

1. The Windows folder
2. The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\
   Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping key in the registry.
3. The default folder
