    Hi,

    Please disable your Anti-Virus application and then we set services to disable and reboot the server.

    Note: We can use Fscutility.exe to  disconnect the Forefront Security services from Exchange Server.

    How to use the Fscutility.exe program to disconnect the Forefront Security services from Exchange Server or from SharePoint Portal Server
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929076

    After that,please try to re-install to test the issue again.

    If the problem still persists,then please try to check the event viewer and post the error event here.

    Also please post the detail setup log here.

    Regards,
    Xiu

    Hi,

    Please verify if you have SCW configured for Exchange Server.

    From the log I found the following error:

    Failed to load dependency Microsoft.Web.Administration of assembly Microsoft.Exchange.Management, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 because of the following error : ?? §Ô¡è??§Ó§Ò§á -??§Ó§§ §Ô??¡ì?--§Ý? §Õ???. (€§Ò??§à§Ù?-§§? §§¡ì HRESULT: 0x80070002)

    This error should be SCW related. If you have SCW configured, then please follow the steps below to solve the problem.

     

    1.    Go into Security Configuration Wizard.

    2.    Modify existing template under Select Administration and Other Optioins to allow .NET Framework NGEN -x64 to run.

    3.    Save and apply the template.

    4.    Please check and set the following services to manual.(type services.msc from a command prompt to open Services Manager)


    Windows 2008:
    Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X64
    Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X86

    May be the wrong configuration of content filters in Active Directory ?
