I have successfully installed OMSA on about 9 servers, but this one server gets about 3/4 of the way through and fails on this error:
Product: Dell OpenManage Server Administrator -- SYSTEMSMANAGEMENT: The install failed to update configuration files. Please make sure that you have read/write/modify permissions in the directory where you are installing.
dcecfg.exe error code = -1066598273
Anyone have a clue? I have full rights to this server. I have even tried to install it to a different path on the machine than the default and get the same message.
Check the permissions on the install directory. If this is a W2K3 server apply the SYSTEM account with Full Control and apply permissions through directory structure. See if this resolves the install
be sure to apply read/write permissions throughout the location on where you are installing this from and to path of where the install is taking place. Be sure to make those permissions flow down through the folder hiearchy
I am having this exact problem. System is a Dell PowerEdge 1950 running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.
Permissions are fine, by default SYSTEM has Full Control to C:\Program Files and all new subdirectories (permission inheritance) and I'm performing the install as a member of the local Administrators group.
I get the following error in the Event Log:
Source: Application Error
Faulting application dcecfg32.exe, version 5.6.0.4769, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.2756, fault address 0x00015e02.

Product: Dell OpenManage Server Administrator -- SYSTEMSMANAGEMENT: The install failed to update configuration files. Please make sure that you have read/write/modify permissions in the directory where you are installing.
dcecfg.exe error code = -1066598273
So almost at the very end of the install, dcecfg32.exe is crashing, and the entire installation is rolled back. There's almost no software on here (just a bare Windows Server 2003 installation with all updates as of today, 11/2/2006).
I set the permissions for local Administrator and SYSTEM for Full Control in my installation source folder in root directory of C:\ (so there are no intermediary directories to consider) and the process still crashes.
I don't know what my problem was, but I apparently did have a version of dcsupt32.dll in C:\Windows\System32. I can't figure out why I couldn't find it before, but this was causing all my woes.
