SQL Express Std & Adv hardware warning

I have insured that I have the x86 version downloaded of both the ver. 2.0 .net foundation. I have insured that I meet the min. requirements of all software requirements. For the Std. edition my hardware reports I exceed the minimum requirements. For the Adv. edition my hardware meets the min. mem. requirements.

I proceed with the Adv. installation, I find a warning during the preamable or the installation support tools regarding insufficient hardware. I then back out of installation, I remove the /program files/ms sql folder and verify registry is cleared.

I proceed to install the std. edition, I find the same warning as above. I suspect I have an error in the hardware profile reporting tool. I then search for a ms analysis tool equivalent to the one used by SQL 2k5 express to no avail.

As this installation is a requirement for classes I find myself a little frustrated; however, expert assistance would be most welcome. Note: In either case of the above installations I can proceed with the installation; however, the client fails. This issue does not appear resolveable with normal user access tools, suggestions for a Remedy in the next few hours will be most welcome. Class starts tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Dave Cooke

SQL Express Std & Adv hardware warning

    Hey Euan;

    Actually, it never defined the hardware failure. Originally I suspected it was memory. Later I dropped back to the Standard version and the problem appears to have disappeared, I was
    able to complete the loading of the Std. version and the warning appeared again; however, this time I was able to compete the down load.

    I applied the recommended version and got a similar warning; however, this time it is as though there was sufficient resources and the load completed. I then added in the SQL settings and the share went up fine.

    I still have more to learn about the start.net iis server....

    If this is just a hrdware warning you should be able to proceed with the install. Which component is providing the warning.
