@king2000sa: "I'm trying to install Veritas Back Exec 9.1 on my Windows 2003 server acting
as domain controller.
First event is:
MsiInstaller Event ID 1015
Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x800401F0
Then MsiInstaller Event ID 11707
1: 2: VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows Servers 3: 1: 1707
Then MsiInstaller Event ID 11708
Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine  Installation operation
failed.
What is the problem?"
    @cnapier: "The error code 0x800401F0 is CO_E_NOTINITIALIZED which indicates that OLE has 
not been initialized. This can commonly occur when MsiOpenPackage or 
MsiOpenProduct are called from threads that have not initialized OLE.
How is the installation work? Are other MSI application installs affected?

What is your status on this issue? Could you please update and share
as there are others in need of a resolution.
I have a similar problem installing 9.1 Admin Console on a Win XP
Validating the BE msi package (VERITAS Backup Exec for Window
Servers.msi) using Full MSI Validation Suite/Orca, returns a hug
amount of errors and warnings like these:
ICE03	WARNING	String overflow (greater than length permitted i
column); Table: Component, Column: KeyPath, Key(s)
mediarequiredforrecovery_en.rpt.4720227D_76B6_4279_B0D3_C95B9D1310BE
ICE30	ERROR	The target file '0tandqic.sy_' is installed i

'IDR4_0tandqic.sy_.1B15BB01_8E2D_4A12_A3E6_175864F3EF67'. This break
component reference counting.
On a Windows Server 2003 where the BE 9.1 media server is installed al
hotfixes and SP1 installs fail and aborts at 99% when BE services ar
to be started. All is rolled back.

    @chontay1b3w02: "Hey guys. I've just had this problem. Mine was after removing BE 9.1 and
then trying to reinstall so may differ slightly to yours. But I had
exactly the same error in the log: 1708...
Basically I made sure there were no dead reg entries for either the
MSDE or BE 9.1.
I then dumped the bkupinst.log and MSDE_BKUPEXEC.log. 
Then I deleted the entire contents of the TEMP dir under the
administrator local settings dir and the contents of the Local
Settings\Application Data\ApplicationHistory. 
After that the install went ahead perfectly.
This was on one of our production Windows 2003 domain controllers.
BE 9.1 is now functioning fine.
I hope this helps.

doing it on the console and since I finally got it to install I can'
try it again. Would make sense to try from the console though I kno
several other issues where installations via TS fail....

    @Sharki1cllc7: "Hi All,
I encounter the same problem on 2 different Windows 2003 server. So 
contacted Microsoft and they finally found me the solution after 
weeks of research. The problem came from the MSDE component.
Microsoft provide me a new semnt.dll file and also a procedure t
reinstall MSDE properly.
The procedure was this one :
On c: i go in program file folder ans i create manually a folder calle
'Microsoft SQL Server' than inside i create 2 folder called '80' an
'MSSQL$BKUPEXEC'
Into '80' folder in create also 'Tools' folder and inside this one 
create also 'Binn'
Into MSSQL$BKUPEXEC folder i create another 'Binn' folder.
Into the 2 different 'Binn' folder i copy the semnt.dll file tha
microsoft provided to me.
I start the backup Exec 9.1 installation normally with defaul
parameter and everythin is OK.
I you need the semnt.dll file you can contact me.

Do you remember what you searched for in the registry?  I searched fo
Veritas, but what did you search for for MSDE.
When you say you dumped the logs, you deleted them?

You will still need to contact Microsoft for the hotfix and let the
