The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to install a new electronic form (e-form) created in the Electronic
Forms Designer via an Exchange client by using the Tools / Options / Exchange
Server / Manage Forms menu selections, the following error message may appear:

  The form could not be installed, the required action was not successful
  due to unspecified error!

CAUSE
=====

You are trying to install the forms to a folder located on a non-Intel platform
system.

WORKAROUND
==========

Installing e-forms to a non-Intel-based platform will give the error message
only when you are installing to the organization forms or public folder. If you
install e-forms to a PST file or personal forms library, the installation is
successful. This occurs because Visual Basic for e-forms and Visual Basic 4.0
were designed and compiled to run on Intel platforms only. Non-Intel platforms
include Alpha, MIPS, RISC, and so on. To be able to install e-forms into the
organization forms or public folder, install them on an Intel-based server in
the organization and allow Exchange to replicate to the non-Intel platform.
