Hello my big problem for today.

I downloaded sql express advanced with reporting services and when I try to install

it on step: "sql server database services" I recive the error below:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa'. Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.

    Hi loopyloo,

    You should post your question as a new thread with complete details such as what version you're installing, whether it's an upgrade or fresh install, what OS and any information from the error log that is pertinent.

    Mike

    Hi,

    on which OS are you running How did you call the setup routine, please paste your commandline in here. Itwould be also interesting to see the setup files that SQL Express created during the installation.
