Instalation of SP4 on MSDE Revision A (SP3a)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


   Hi,

   I have problems with installing SP4 on English MSDE Revision A (I'm using
the English SP4 for MSDE) which is a named instance with mixed mode authentication
enabled. It's on Windows XP Professional OEM version with SP2 (and all other
updates available on Windows Update, Office Update or indicated by MBSA) installed.
The instance is using MSSQL_INAME Windows account. I have MS Visual Studio 2005
Beta 2 installed on this machine along with SQL Server 2005 CTP Tools (no SQL
Server 2005 instance installed).
   The SP4 instalation is run using 'sa' database login (from Windows
administrator account).
   The install log fragment (generated with "/L*v" setup parameter) is:

Starting custom action SetFileAndRegACLs()
Beginning modification of directory Security Descriptor (SD).
 SQL Path:               C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$INAME\\
 SQL Data Path:          C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$INAME\\
 SQL Service Account:    .\MSSQL_INAME
 Agent Service Account:  .\MSSQL_INAME
Error:
 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
 Error Code =  1332
Ending modification of directory Security Descriptor (SD).
Ending custom action SetFileAndRegACLs().
Action ended 23:40:35: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

   Do you have any ideas what can be causing the problem? I allready installed
SP4 on other MSDE RevA (not OEM Windows, VS2003 instead of VS2005, no SQL2005 tools).

   Thank you for any help.

PS.: My recent search results seem to suggest that this has something to do with
    deleted Windows users which are still referenced somewhere, but I do not know
    where. I do not remember deleting any user accounts on this Windows box.
    The error 1332 seems to be Windows Installer error.
