Install MSDE hang-ups
Hi y'all. I am running XP pro, SP2 - Outlook 2003 w/ plenty Ram and space.
Downloaded install file for BCMv2 which installed ok but hung up about 60% through set-up of SQL so no server to create dbase. Subsequent attempts failed including many of the 'fixes' I found here. I downloaded the standalone SQL, figured out SAPWD, deleted folders, uninstalled, tried in Safe mode, opened ports, checked settings like File/Print sharing and firewall. Nothing. Keeps hanging at about the same spot. created log to look for 'cause' but nothing is obvious. Several early references to "skipping action." In the middle there is "DetectInstanceClash" but there are no other instances in services or registry I can find. And no "Return Value 3". The last lines of the log a Starting custom action InstallSqlRedis Executing "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlredis.exe /q:a" Then all is quiet. Once it hangs (typically with "9 seconds" or so remaining) I have to hard quit it out and stop the process 'slqredis' in order to try again. Been several hours and many attempts and I am bleary eyed. I appreciate all those who've gone before and helped out, usually my fix is the same as somebody else's, but this one seems different. Hope somebody has some light to shine....thanks |
