1. Change Windows Explorer to show hidden files.
   
2. Search the hard disk for appsrv.ini.
   
3. Right click each instance of the file to verify they are NOT flagged as Read Only.

Comments on why the installs reference different INI files are welcome.

You have the option to forward and retain in the Exchange box as well. See the check box low on the delivery options form.
