Installation problems of Express

  • I get an error 'unexpected termination of installation'. It says to review the summary.txt, but it only shows the version of SQL that was trying to install

  • Pls post the setup log file information and the eventviewer information, then only we can analyze whats the exact error.

  • this sounds similar to my problem ... here is my entire summary.txt file:

    [font="Courier New"]Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.3042.00

    i'm not sure what to look for ...

    here is first part of the ...core.log file:

    there are more errors after that ...

    i've checked 'protected storage' and it is on ...

  • hello again ...

    has anyone installed SQL Server Express on a w2k with SP4?

    i can't seem to. i have searched and read about a few other people having similar problem. i have looked at Protected Storage ( it's there ) and Crypto ( it's not ) and read about possible cluster fail over issues ( no cluster ) ...

    i initially tried to install the VB Express package including SQL ... the SQL install error showed up there. VB seemed to install ok. i tried to install SQL by itself and with the advanced services package. every attempt to install SQL has given the same result - SUMMARY.TXT without any info other than the machine ...

    maybe the machine just isn't up to running SQL - but shouldn't the install at least say that?

    thanks for any help ...
