After going through the massively complex
installation process of Forefront Identity Manager Installation wizard for the
Password Reset portal and the Reporting Services components you receive the
following error "The SharePoint
2010 Administration Service is not running. Please start it and then click
"Retry". Click "Cancel" to abort setup." it's
pretty self-explanatory as an error. Basically the SharePoint 2010 Adaministration Service is not running on the
SharePoint Server (which in this case also the FIM server).
I had forgot to reconfigure the SharePoint 2010
Administration (or SPAdminV4)
service to start Automatically, I
did the manually from the services.msc
MMC.
After this I clicked Retry and the setup
continued.
