Msdaipp.dll Does Not Register During Setup

This article was previously published under Q297075

SYMPTOMS

SharePoint Portal Server Setup fails and you may receive the following error message:
MSDAIPP.DLL Failed to Register

CAUSE

SharePoint Portal Server uses this dynamic link library (DLL) to install the product. The data managed by this component is stored in the Application Data folder. If this folder exists on a remote network server (based on your group policy or roaming profile settings), the component will not successfully store data, and therefore, will return the registration failure error message.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, manually create the following folder:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Msdaipp
For example, if your Application Data folder resides on a network share \\server\profileshare\%username%, create the folder \\server\profileshare\%username%\AppData\Microsoft\Msdaipp.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
