SQL installation Error...

    I have the same problem. I'm running on xp pro sp2. I tried installing msde first, it had problems -- I did research & found that I needed a patch, I installed the patch and now everything SQl STOPPED WORKING. Any clues

    If I remember correctly, it was some "3a" patch for MSDE. I actually ended up going with SQL Express 2005 instead of MSDE, but it was having the same problem initially as well. I think the issue was that SQL didn't clean up after itself very well -- I resolved it by first uninstalling everything SQL via add/remove programs, then I went to the file system and deleted all SQL Server directories, and finally I ran regedit and deleted all the SQL software entries there. The next time I ran the install, everything worked ok.

    Hope this helps, good luck.

    The first thing to check is the setup logs located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files. Take a look at the log file with a name similar to SQLSetup####_ComputerName_Core(local).log for the most recent installation that failed. There will likely be more information near the end of the file about the failure.

    Just to cover all the bases:

    1. How are you installing SQL Express
    2. Where did you get the file you are installing
    3. What version/service pack of Windows are you running

    Thanks for the additional information.

    Mike,

    Do you know how to fix this problem I'm getting the same error on Server 2003 SP1 for SQL Express 2005 install. I got the file from MSDN's web site.
