Hello,
I am trying to install WSS on Windows Vista Professional with the Bamboo application helper and at the task 7/9, I have the following error:
Failed to provision the SharePoint Central Administration Web Application.An exception of type System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was thrown. Additional exception information: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.Parameter name: index
Here is the installation log:
Task adminvs has failed with an unknown exception 08/07/2008 22:43:24 1 INF Not running in high contrast, so we will paint the background with our trademarked image08/07/2008 22:43:24 1 INF Not running in high contrast, so we will paint the background with our trademarked image08/07/2008 22:43:24 13 ERR Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.

Do you have some idea to correct this problem?
Thanks in advance.
piednico,
If you run Forefront temporarily turn it off during the install.
You must go back and reinstall IIS.
Thanks

Hi, Jonas
I'm also receiving this error. I have never had forefront installed. Here's where things seem to fall apart on step 7:

I've literally tried to get this to work at least a dozen times. I've installed different flavors of SQL Server 2008 Express, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've turned off my default web site. Nothing I've tried has worked. Hoping you know of something that will work.
Thanks,
Ron
Ron,
I have seen this error before. Do a repair of your IIS7 install and run the configuration wizard again.
If "repairing" my IIS 7 install means turning off IIS and then turning it back on, I already tried that. Sorry if I'm not understanding, but can you let me know exactly what steps I should take and in which order. Also, I've gone between SQL Server Express 2008 and 2005 but that also didn't seem to matter. Do you recommend 2008? If so, which level (there are 3 ranging from basic to advanced tools)? Thanks again,Ron
That's what I meant. Did you install the IIS 6 Management compatibility/IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration comptatibilty.
Try to just check one additional option (pick any) without uninstalling IIS7, and press OK.
I doubt that this has anything to do with SQL.
I ended up completely removing IIS at the top level and then re-added it. That did the trick. Thanks very much for your help!
