Installing Exec 9.1 for servers on windows 2003 server stops

[dandl]

Wondering if anyone can give me some advise?
I am trying to install Exec 9.1 on our new Windows 2003 server.
We currently have it running on an NT box but need to switch that of has it is getting a bit flakey.
The new machine is running our exchange 2003 and has windows terminal services. i have put the terminal services into install mode but not stopped the exchange services. Is this something I need to do?

I run the setup and import the existing licences from the current machine and everything goes fine until it gets to the part of installing Exec for SQL. At this point the install terminates and produces a log.

i have looked at the log the last few enteries include a referance to JDE being installed already but the rest is gibberish to me.

Can anyone give me any pointers

Thanks
dandl

Could BE What is in the "c:\winnt\bkupinst.log" written? Also check the "c:\winnt\MSDE_BKUPEXEC.log" for error's...

Maybe it's the same error like this thread:

yes with the help of others in i looked at the log files and it was telling me that the it could not find the PDC.
I moved the PDC to the new machine and it worked fine.
