I'm doing a new install of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and am getting an error. At step 5 of 10 of the configuration I get a message stating "Failed to register SharePoint service. An exception of type System.IO.FileNotFoundException was thrown. Additional exception information: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the .net framework 3.0 and SharePoint but the same error occurs. I can't uninstall/reinstall the .net framework 2.0 because it is required by another application.
I found the following warnings and errors in the Event Log:
1. Could not import the registry hive into the registry because it does not exist in the configuration database.
2. Error backing up the registry hive to the configuration database. Context: Application 'Search index file on the search server'. Details: The system cannot find the file specified.
3. Advise Status Change failed. The system is probably low on resources. Free up resources and restart the service.
4. The gatherer service cannot be initialized. The temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on the drive and verify that you have write permission on the temp folder.
The account I'm using to do the install is in the administrators group. There is another web application already installed on the server and there is more than 17GB of free space on the c:\ drive. Any advice on how to fix the error?
