Problems installing RedGate's SQL Backup Agent Service

    Good morning,

    I've downloaded RedGate's 14 day Trial DBA bundle to see how well it compresses backup files etc but I'm having issues with the installation!!

    I created a new domain account called RedGate (with the necessary rights for the logon to run as a service). I also created a new SQL Server login and assigned it the sysadmin server role.

    But when I try to install the required components to perform backup I get the following error:

    Please note that the new domain account I'm using has the same priviliges as the domain account I created for the SQL Server Agent service which is running just fine!

    Any ideas?

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.

    What does the Windows Application log say?

    It has to be a permissions issue. The service account running the agent would only have limited permissions (as is best practise). You should probably try installing with higher permissions so that it can register the service.
