I am trying to install SQL server 2005 Client tools on a developement PC. It
has windows XP Pro SP2 and Visual Studio 2003.
I uninstalled SQL server 2000 client tools and run setup from the tools
directory of the SQL 2005 Developer msdn DVD. Installation of prerequisites
and net framework 2.0 goes well but when I get to "System Configuration
Check" it fails saying that .net framework 2.0 is not installed or is corrupt.
Net framework seems correctly installed, howver i tried to repair it, i
tried to unistall and reinstall but with no luck. I get the same error.
What else can i do?

Thanks in advance

Have you check specifically for the .NET framework version 2?

This failure happens when setup cannot load managed code. You can try to
remove Microsoft SQL Server Support Files from Add/Remove Programs and then
try setup again.

Yes, of course I did, I checked for framework 2.0 installation looking in
add/remove programs.
Tell me if you need SQL Server installation logs.

Thanks a lot

I followed your suggestion, I uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server Support then
run setup again... I get the same error.

In add/remove programs I saw SQL Server Native Client, MSXML 6.0 and
Micorsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis service 9.0 OLEDB provider, could be some
of this causes the failure?

Hi,
I recommend that you:
1. Uninstall all of the SQL Server 2005 components and .NET Framework 2.0.
2. Download the Windows Installer 3.1 from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2fc-5f56-4a38-
b838-de776fd4138c&displaylang=en
3. Install Windows Installer 3.1 on your computer
4. Delete all related SQL Server setup folders on your computer. By
default, they locate in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\
5. Restart your computer
6. Reinstall SQL Server 2005 developer edition.

If this issue perists, please mail me (changliw@microsoft.com) the SQL
setup error logs ( C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt ) for further research.

Sincerely,

Something unexpected happened...
I started uninstalling Micorsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis service 9.0 OLEDB
but it says that net framework 2.0 is a requirement ad it isn't present so it
can't proceed. Net Framework 2.0 IS installed (present in add/remove
programs....), MSXML 6.0 is installed too (required by AS 9.0 OLEDB Provider).
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please check the .net 2.0 registry information first and ensure the key
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v2.0 " is existed.

If it existed, please follow my previous reply. Additionally try
uninstalling them under safe mode. If some components of SQL Server 2005
can't be removed, please leave them.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. It's always my pleasure to be of assistance.

Sincerely,
Charles Wang

Registry information exists, I followed your previous reply and I sent you
installation logs by E-mail...

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your email logs.
I have reviewed the logs, but unfortunately there are not some clearly
ful information.

Since my last suggestions can't work, I recommend that you try the
following:
1. Restart your computer with safe mode
2. Uninstall the .NET framework 2.0
3. Remove SQL Server 2005 components ( if some components can't be removed,
please ignore them)
4. Delete SQL Server 2005 setup directory of C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server
5. Create a new user belong to local administrators group
6. Restart your computer and log on windows with the new user
5. Install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance.

Finally it happened! I installed SQL server 2005 Developer.
Thanks a lot.
I was following your instructions but I found that there was no way of
unistalling Net Framework 2.0 or SQL server components in Safe Mode...
Remaining in Safe Mode I installed again Windows Installer, I got back to
normal mode and I succeed in unistalling Net Framework 2.0 and ALL Sql server
components. From this point on everything has gone well.
Thank you for your time and your patience.
