SQL 2008 Installation Error

  • Hi,

    Has anyone encountered this error when launching setup.exe for SQL 2008?

    "Managed SQL server installer has encounterd a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"

    When I click debug the following visual studio Just-in-Time Debugger message is display:

    "An unhandled exception (system.outofmemoryexception) occurred in setup100.exe. Just-in-time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has Just-in-time debugging enabled."

    Thanks,

  • I figured out the problem - thanks to all who took a look.

    So basically the error above is generically thrown due to permission issues when installing SQL 2008 from a shared drive.

    If you're installing SQL Server 2008 from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share.

    Interesting that the error doesn't say anything about that.
