Cause
Confusion related to the indicator Windows uses to denote when features have been enabled.
Instructions in the Security Expert SOAP service installation manual not sufficiently clear.
For instance, the documentation shows a checkmark in the .NET framework feature but it does not show the sub-items, a checkmark here means all of the sub-items are also enabled but this is not necessarily intuitive.
When not all of the sub-items are enabled, Windows shows the check box filled with a black square but many users are interpreting this as meaning the same as a checkmark.
Resolution
When a feature check box shows a checkmark in the documentation, make sure to expand the feature and enable ALL of its sub-items.
