MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB973638) cannot be found

  • During the install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise x64 on my second node, during Setup Process I get the following message:

    An installation package for product MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB973638) cannot be found. Try the installation using a valid copy of the installation package ‘msxml.msi’.

    MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 (KB973638) is installed on both nodes. I had a successful install on my first node, why am I getting this message on my second node?

    Frustrated in St. Louis,

  • I received this same error actually on a cluster reinstall. There is a MS Connect ID out there that shows the XML 6 SP2 should be removed and then attempt the install. However I did that and it did not work. I checked the install logs and there were some other peculiar errors showing up once it started the remote install on the second node.

    The customer did not want to spend any more time on it so they opted to restore the cluster from a backup. They had also opened a case with Microsoft Support on the problem but don't know if they sent any logs to them or not.
