    : Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.

  • Just enable IIS Service(if installed) and it will be good to go.

    Else goto Control Panel-> Add Remove Programs-> Add Remove Windows component Tab on Left Side check Internet Information Services and Next Next to complete.. Run setup agan.

    Try this.

  • I installed IIS and re-tried the sql 2005 client install. Unfortunately, the install failed again at the msxml6 step.

  • [font="Verdana"]Hi,

    I hope only MSXML6 component is alone failed, can you post that log to analyse?? Else you can download MSXML6 setup and try installing the same. Refer the link below

    Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0

    Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 Service Pack 1

    Kindly note that IIS is required only if you are planning to install reporting services else you can neglect this!

    In addition refer the link below, this might help you
