SQL server 2008 standard edition installation fails with the error:

  • Hi All

    I am trying to install SQL server 2008 standard edition using configurationfile and set up fails with the below error. The failure occurs only when the configuration file is used. How ever, manual install works fine.

    Final result: SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup.

    Exit code (Decimal): -2068643838

    Exit facility code: 1203

    Exit error code: 2

    Exit message: No features were installed during the setup execution. The requested features may already be installed. Please review the summary.txt log for further details.

    Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

  • Were you able successful in getting past that error from the command prompt? Had the same on R2

    (Yeah the post is 2 years old...)

  • Did you review the summary log to see what it said? Or the bootstrap log?

    What actually are you trying to upgrade and from what to what version. Also, if you can paste the installation logs that appear at the end(during successful or failed installation), it will be helpful for the members here to give you some advice.

  • Here's the summary file.

    I've empty out dates, sensitive data and instance name that could pinpoint who it is. Other than that everything stayed the same.

    This is a new fresh installation, no other sql instance was installed (side-by-side) and none sql server were installed in the past either.

    yes I've dig all the logs + details logs for more details.

    Windows Logs

    Registry is ok (no garbage)

    User groups are also ok

    I've also google this and the few whom had that error installed it manually from the UI and it solved their issue. However I cannot workaround that way.

    From SQL perspective this is not an error because it "think" feature were already installed when none are installed, so logs does not trigger issues or errors.

  • Is this an .msi install package or a DVD install?

  • MSI, our installation process call the SQL Server setup process with parameters for a silent installation.
