Small Business Accounting SQL setup fails

B

Brian S. Bergin

During the setup of Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006 on
XP Pro SP2 (2048MB RAM) the Outlook portion and SBA portion complete
fine but the SQL MSDE junk (sorry, I hate MSDE) fails every time on
multiple systems. We did finally get it to install on a 2003 Std
Server (that already had a multiprocessor license of SQL 2000 - which
begs the question why we have to use the junk MSDE in the first
place), but the MSDE installer on multiple XP Pro SP2 boxes fail with
8 seconds remaining. I'm logged on as a domain admin, have rebooted
multiple times, cleared out temp folders, disabled antivirus (running
Symantec AV Corp Ed 10.01), all to no avail.

We have until 31 Dec 05 to determine if we're going to MS SBA or
sticking with Quickbooks for another year. Anyone have any idea how
to force the MSDE junk to install? Event Viewer gives us no clues, no
errors, just a hang at 8 seconds remaining. Is there some log file
created by the installer that I can refer to? I've found others
stating they've had similar problems but so far have seen no solutions
other than to dump MS SBA and stick with QB Pro.

Sincerely,
Brian S. Bergin

Brian,

I've run into problems like that with MSDE before, but I don't remember the
solution other than it involved some manual removal of MSDE bits, possibly
in the registry. Try posting the question to
microsoft.public.sqlserver.msde.
