    Well, it's late and i need to go to work later this morning. Missed work yesterday due to a family emergency. Mother-in-law had a heart attack. She's doing okay, and will be in the hospital a few days.

    Thanks for the attention, Lynn. Glad to hear you Mother-in-Law is going to be OK.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Thank you. Glad you were able to fix your system as well.

    Heh... me too. I like my system better than my Mother-in-Law. 😛

    That is my wife's sentiment about her mother-in-law. Personally, I like my mother-in-law. She has been there when we need help, and she makes the effort to be involved in the life of her children and grandchildren rather than sitting back expecting us to keep her involved.

    Is there a more detailed error message in this file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0014_JMODEN2_MSXML6_1.log?

    Yep.... it's quite long so I'll post the only line in monster 421 line file of garbage` (that's French for "garbage") 🙂

    MSI (s) (7C:B0) [23:53:36:062]: Product: MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB954459) -- Removal failed.

    ... and we already knew that.

    The fix I found apparently works... I'm almost at the end of a successful reinstall. Like I said, once I'm sure that everything is copacetic, I'll post what I did to fix this nasty problem.

    I had a similar problem and found I had to run the Windows Install Cleanup utility which did the trick.

    Yeah since XP SP3 the install seems to complain about MSXML 6, and ive always used the windows install cleanup to remove it. After that its always been ok. for some reason XP SP3 see's the install as a security issue 🙂

    There is a link about it here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749
