"error generating the XML document" during 2008 R2 install

  • OK, so I'm trying to install SQL 2008 R2 Std side-by-side with an existing SQL 2005 installation. I can work my way through the installation options, but once the install process begins I get:

    TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.

    ------------------------------

    SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

    There was an error generating the XML document.

    Error code 0x84B10001.

    ------------------------------

    After searching online I see that this problem is typically related to the version of the .Net framework you have installed.

    This server currently has the following frameworks installed and listed on the add/remove programs list:

    .Net Framework 2.0 SP2

    .Net Framework 3.0 SP2

    .Net Framework 3.5 SP1

    .Net Framework 4 Client Profile

    .Net Framework 4 Extended

    Can someone help me out? Should I uninstall some of these? Maybe more importantly, can I uninstall/reinstall .Net frameworks underneath an installed instance of SQL without messing anything up?

    Thanks!

  • Thanks Jason. I've got our server team looking at that link and (hopefully) fixing things.

  • Hope it works
