This is caused by having a previous version of WDS installed (2.x) and
upgrading to 3.0. Basically the older control panel applet and some other
binaries are left over in the WDS program files folder. I ended up looking at
a box that never had 2.x installed to figure out which filed needed to be
deleted and deleted them off the upgraded box. Rebooted and the old control
panel applet was gone and thus the warning messages are gone. I believe 2.x
doesn't properly uninstall itself. The 3.0 control panel applet is called
"Indexing Options". The 2.x one is called something else and doesn't get
removed when uninstalling 2.x. I'm guessing for 3.0 they backported from
Vista instead of evolving 2.x into 3.0 which explains the main differences
between the applications.

Now if only I could figure out why when trying to search the web IE7 just
displays:

http:///?%20search%20query

in the URL bar instead of actually displaying the search results...
