When I try and install Exchange everything installs, with the exception of
OWA. To my knowledge it installs under normal conditions in Standard and
Enterprise. I've tried both versions, and still nothing. IIS gives me
/exchange directory stuff but all map to \\.\backoffice... etc. I've
installed and reinstalled and done everything I can think of short of
formatting the system. I dont want to do that as its my development system.
I'm currently running 2003 Enterprise R2, with Ex2003 Standard. As well VS
2005, SQL 2005, and sharepoint 2003 are installed. Thanks!

The \\.\BackOfficeStorage\etc. location is correct. It's a mapping into the
Exchange IFS, which you won't find in Explorer unless you do a subst . The
old Ex2000 M: drive was a bit like this.

I suppose I should have mentioned that I knew that, and even still it
wouldn't work. Whenever i tried /Exchange it wouldnt work. In any case I
had to format my HD on account of another issue, and now I have exchange
running nicely. For some reason OWA didn't like working when SharePoint was
installed first, but it works when SP was installed afterword... could just
be my configuration. Anyway, thanks for the help :)
