    I am getting the same issue as well. My summary.txt file contains the following:

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 9.00.852
    ==============================
    OS Version : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
    Time : Thu Mar 23 12:20:13 2006

    RMENZIES1 : The Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install before running setup.

    The message is actually incorrect as I do have the 2.0 Framework installed. My steps were as follows:

    Installed beta version of .NET 2

    Installed beta version of SQL Express

    Time goes by

    Uninstalled the beta version of .NET 2

    Installed the release version of .NET 2

    Tried to uninstall the beta version of SQL Express to install the release version

    Got the above error.

    I think the actual issue is that I am missing the beta version of .NET 2 that SQL Express was running on. Course I can't go back to that now ......

    Can you try the failing install again. Then look at the summary.txt file located at %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log. It will give a summary of the installation and hopefully point you to the error. If you can give us that information, it will help.

    I had the same error and copied the contents of CD1 to a Servers directory, and the contents of CD2 to a Tools directory at the same level as the servers directory as per the previously mentioned technote (kb 916760). Install worked fine after that.

    I had a similar problem to the original post with a failure of the install 2/3 of the way through stating an error in setup.rll.

    Eventually I got it installed after finding a KB article: -

    http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=916760

    This states that the downloaded MSDN ISO's, if run from the harddrive\network MUST be located in folders called "servers" and "tools" at the same folder level.

    Once the foders were in this format, the install completed.

    I have the following error while installing all services available for SQL Server 2005. I'm running a brand new install of Windows Sever 2003. I have tried to install SQL 05 several times without any luck. It is not installing the Managment Studio and Visual Studio. Any ideas. I've seen someone else with the same error but no solution.
