Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

installation process installs on the computer. This method is designed to

This method requires the MSIZap.exe utility. The MSIZap.exe utility is
included with the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Platform Software Development Kit (SDK). To obtain the Windows Server 2003
SP1 Platform SDK, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
