Hello,
I've been testing an unattended install of SQL Server 2008 client tools on Windows XP SP3 machines. On one of the test machines, I ended up with what seems to be a partial installation. As far as I can tell, some rll files seem to be missing (not installed).
The command that I use to install is:
setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /QUIET /FEATURES=CONN,BC,BOL,SSMS
The exit code from the install is 0, but in the Summary_machinename_date_time.txt file, I get (pardon the French ;-)):
Overall summary:
Final result: En attente
Exit code (Decimal): 0
Exit message: En attente
Start time: 2010-03-19 09:41:18
End time: 2010-03-19 09:41:41
Requested action: Install
...
Overall summary:
Final result: En attente
Exit code (Decimal): 0
Exit message: En attente
Start time: 2010-03-19 09:41:18
End time: 2010-03-19 09:41:41
Requested action: Install
Detailed results:
Feature: Connectivité des outils clients
Status: Échec : voir les journaux pour plus de détails
MSI status: Réussite
Configuration status: Réussite
Feature: Outils de gestion - De base
Status: Échec : voir les journaux pour plus de détails
MSI status: Réussite
Configuration status: Réussite
Feature: Compatibilité descendante des outils clients
Status: Échec : voir les journaux pour plus de détails
MSI status: Réussite
Configuration status: Réussite
Feature: Documentation en ligne de SQL Server
Status: Échec : voir les journaux pour plus de détails
MSI status: Réussite
Configuration status: Réussite
A quick translation would be:
[font="Courier New"]En attente = Waiting
Réussite = Success
Échec : voir les journaux pour plus de détails = Fail : look in log files for more details[/font]
The SystemConfigurationCheck_Report.htm file has no warnings or errors.
I tried looking in the log files but they are impossibly lengthy to go through and I couldn't find anything definitive in them either.
As a result of the installation, when executing sqlcmd, for example, I get :
[font="Courier New"]Failed to load resource file sqlcmd.rll. Le module spécifié est introuvable.
Le module spécifié est introuvable = Unable to locate specified modul.
[/font]
Similar result with bcp :
[font="Courier New"]Unable to load BCP resource DLL. BCP cannot continue[/font]
Also, under Start->Programs->Microsoft SQL Server 2008, there is no shortcut for Sql Server Managment Studio. However the executable exists in the installation directory but it doesn't execute when I double click on it.
My goal is to understand what went wrong in order to prevent it from occurring once we deploy SQL 2008 to all the workstations at my company.
Any ideas? Has this happened to any of you before? If so what was the problem in your case and what was your solution?
If you need any further information, then please let me know and I will be glad to provide it to you.
Regards,
Mark T.

It turns out that the install was being prematurely interrupted by the expiry time that is imposed by the startup scripts. I guess that would explain the absence of the summary.txt file and the "Waiting" Exit message.
