Project Server 2002 / MSDE install problem

D

Dave M

I'm trying to install PS 2002 using the "install now" option on a WIN 2000 Server box (120 day eval version).

After all files have been copied, the registry updated, I get a dialog stating "Install failed to configure server - please see server & install logs for more details". The install then rollsback.

I have examined all logs (install, win,..etc...) - and other than a few "current file is newer then the one you are trying to copy..." errors - there is nothing I can see.

Additional info - I did successfully complete this install once on this machine (~ 2 days before of the repeated failed attempts), but had to uninstall due to configuration issue (read "the dummy forgot the password he typed in ;-)).

Anyway - any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Dave

After you download and extract this Transform file, follow
these steps:
Note Use a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with SP-3 for
your language.
Create a temporary folder on your hard disk to store the
Setup log files (for example, C:\Temp).
Copy the contents of the downloaded zip file to your hard
disk (for example, to drive C).
Type the following, at the command prompt, and then press
ENTER:
setupsvr.exe transforms=c:\projectserver.mst
sqloutfile=c:\temp\sql /L*v c:\temp\setuplog.txt
