Install SSMSE - Installation failed

Hello all,

I have a problem with install SSMSE on all my PCs! :(

I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP (v9.00.1399) and I can't install it.
I have Windows Installer 3.1 v2, .Net Framework 2.0 and MSXML6 installed.
If I launch SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi its nothing to do :( I have only screen "Preparing to install" and it's go out.

In Event Viewer I've evet id 11708: Product: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP -- Installation failed.

0000: 7b 38 36 37 30 46 35 33 {8670F53
0008: 43 2d 38 41 44 37 2d 34 C-8AD7-4
0010: 46 33 34 2d 42 44 42 41 F34-BDBA
0018: 2d 31 37 42 33 38 41 31 -17B38A1
0020: 38 43 42 36 35 7d 8CB65}
(always that same on all OS)

I check it on two Windows Server 2003 (first DC, second SQL server), two Windows XP with integrated SP2 and one Windows XP without any SP's.
I redownload SSMSE.
I have checked it with Administrator account and Domain Admin. Fall through.

What I doing wrong

Thanks for help.

This should be an general error indicating the installation media is corrupted. Maybe you need to do some check disk first or try to move the file to other partition to install

Several days ago I have redownload package again and now it works. So you try it too. Or download that package from different computer.

I seem to be experiencing similar problems. The first time I downloaded SSMSEE windows installer suggested that the sqlSSMSEE.cab file was corrupted. I downloaded again and the install would spontaneously fail. I have appended the log file for the latter problem below. Any chance that they are due to corrupted downloads

Can you run the following command line

msiexec /i c:\foo\SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi /l*v c:\ssmsee.log
(replace with appropriate paths)

Then open up the ssmsee.log file and do a search for "ue 3". Copy a block of text from 10 lines above "ue 3" to 10 lines below "ue 3" back to this thread.

Thanks hermanluc. I tried downloading again. The installation starts but I still get a problem in in sqlssmsee.cab file which results in installation failure. I might try again at a later date. Thanks for your help.
