Hi

I have installed sql server 2005 on a windows server 2003 service pack 2,
all components excepy replication and reporting services and no clusters.

Almost all steps went fine, In the end it gave me a error "Microsoft sql

Hi

Have you got the latest version of windows installer?

Is this a local or remote setup?

Have you specified service accounts?

Have you installed from this media before?

John

Hi John

Have you got the latest version of windows installer?
We have latest version of windows installer.

Is this a local or remote setup?
This is a remote setup. I am logging from my machine to the server as
administrator.

Have you specified service accounts?
I have used LOCAL account. I have used local account in my previous
installations on other servers.

Have you installed from this media before?
YES, I have installed from this CD thrice before. In all three cases, it
worked fine and sql servers 2005 installed from this media are running
without issues.

Hi

A remote setup would have the DVD in your machine, if this is the case have
you tried the DVD on the server or copying the contenrts of the media onto
the server?

Have you checked any of the other log files to see if there are any other
errors?

John

Hi John

The DVD is on the server. I am connecting to the server remotely. If we can
not sort it out then during reinstallation I will copy contents of media
remotely.

> Have you checked any of the other log files to see if there are any other
> errors?

Yes, I have checked all other log files and summary.txt, All steps looks
sucessful. It also looks like SQL server is installed and running. I can see
"SQL server configuration manager, edit settings in SQL Server surface area
configuration but I do not see "SQL Server Management Studio".

Thanks

SHOULD I TRY TO INSTALL IT AGAIN WITH MEDIA ON THE SERVER. WILL IT CHECK
WHICH COMPONENTS ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED AND CORRECT IT??

If we can
not sort it out then during reinstallation I will copy contents of media
TO THE SERVER.

Usually if the install fails everything should rollback so you would need to
install everything. It does not look like a media issue, but copying the
media should not do any harm.

You could try a minimal installation of just the engine and see if that
works.

John

Surface Area Configuration and Configuration Manager will be installed
anyway however if you do not explicitly check Client Tools \ Management
Tools from the Components to Install window' s Advanced window, then SSMS
will not be installed.

This is not a sign of a problem, this is a matter of choice.

Hi Ekrem and John

Sql server did installed with few services before. This time I selected all
the components, sql server installation wizard showed me what services are
installed and what services are not installed. Installation worked fine. Now
I can see SSMS and looks like all SQL server 2005 services are sucessfully
installed. As I remember I did selected all the components except Reporting
and replication.

Changes this time:
1. I installed IIS.
2. Copied media to the server and installed it from there.

I just do not understand why it gave that error message in summary.txt and
SQLSetup0001_LAMBTONGIS_SQLNCLI_4.log in the first installation???

Thanks

I think IIS should have been a prerequisit for Reporting Services and would
not let you install, but then I could be wrong!!

John

Thanks for your .

Changes this time:
1. I installed IIS.
2. Copied media to the server and installed it from there.

I just do not understand why it gave that error message in summary.txt and
SQLSetup0001_LAMBTONGIS_SQLNCLI_4.log in the first installation??? and why
just after installation during first time a message popped up on the screen
that said "Microsoft SQL server 2005 Setup was unable to install on your
computer"
