The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS
========
When you are running Setup /Q to install a non-service component, the Setup
program expects the Setup.ini file to have a service account specified.
Non-service components include the Administrator program and Books Online.
If the service account is not specified, Setup displays a dialog box, prompting
for the service account.
This behavior is only seen using Setup /Q.
If you run the Setup program in interactive mode and then go to the
Custom/Complete option and select only the non-service component, Setup does not
prompt you for a service account.
CAUSE
=====
Setup assumes that it is installing service components, even though none were
selected. With the fix described below, Setup checks before asking for the
service account name and password.
STATUS
======
