Comment 1 Dorian Birsan CLA 2004-12-09 09:36:51 EST 
how did you select the target location to install to ?
Comment 2 Uwe Kubosch CLA 2004-12-24 16:53:21 EST 
I did not choose a locati0on, I just pressed Next/Finish.
Comment 3 Dorian Birsan CLA 2005-01-05 18:51:44 EST 
It looks like the target site did not get set, possibly because your userid 
did not have write access to the default site.
Comment 4 Dorian Birsan CLA 2005-01-05 18:52:45 EST 
fixed.
The wizard will check if all the jobs have a site set in order to enable the 
Finish button.
