This stumped me for a while. Attempted an upgrade of VMWare Exchange 2007 Hub Transport Role. It failed (See http://blogs.flaphead.dns2go.com/archive/2007/12/19/update-exchange-2007-service-pack-1.aspx)
Basically setup fails with: Process execution failed with exit code 3
.. and the setup log says:
[22/01/2008 15:44:08] [2] Beginning processing.
[22/01/2008 15:44:08] [2] Starting: C:WINDOWSsystem32regsvr32.exe arguments: /s “C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerbinExSMIME.dll”
[22/01/2008 15:44:09] [2] Process standard output:

I will come back to this one later. Anyway, when I tried to start the MsExchangeTransport Service spat this out in the Application Event Log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: Routing
Event ID: 5003
Description:
Microsoft Exchange couldn’t load configuration information for routing. The process will block and retry the operation in 10 seconds.
Checked out the server using adsiedit and found for msExchHomeRoutingGroup. Strange, I don’t touch it .. honest.
Looked at another working server and copied the value and the MsExchangeTransport Service started … another weird one!
