SQL Server 2005 CTP Release Candidate Sept - unexpected failure during setup wizard

I always get the following message during the install - the setup fails - no error message found in the log file (summary.txt)

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

------------------------------

 

There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information.

    Hi

    I got exactly the same error. I scrounged around in the log files a bit and discovered this in the SQLSetupXXX_YYY_Core(Local).txt file:

    Running: InstallToolsAction.10 at: 2005/9/10 16:16:23
    Error: Action "InstallToolsAction.10" threw an exception during execution.  Error information reported during run:

    Unfortunately I have not been able to find anything about how to resolve this issue.

    I'm also getting the same message. It appears when installing the last section of the setup where workstation components etc. are located. I haven't figured out a reason for this problem yet. Some help would be very appressiated.

    I coudn't find the "SQL Server 2005 Tools" iso.
    Please, anybody knows the url

    Hi

    I have finally managed to get the management studio installed! I had to download the "SQL Server 2005 Tools" iso (the one I had installed from is the "SQL Server 2005 Server" iso). It looks to me like the Tools are supposed to be in the Server install, but for some reason were separated out.

    Anyway, after extracting the iso I ran the tools installation and now have the management studio / Books online etc.

    Happy SQL'ing!
