Re: SQL Server 2005 Tools Setup Failure

Thanx ... you're a legend ... first option worked great!!!

Any idea why this option affects the setup and was set to 0 on my
machine?

Hi Jamie,

I also had to struggle with this strange error during the installation
of SQL Server 2005 SP1 Express Edition on a (almost) clean Windows XP
SP2 computer.
There are two changes I made on the setup/PC when I finally get rid of
the error. I had not time to uninstall and try again to narrow the
solution to a single action:
1) re-enabled "Administrative Shares" (see the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters;
the value for AutoShareServer must be 1) & reboot
2) on "Service Account" installation wizard page I choose not to start
any service at the end of installation (by default, "SQL Server" was
checked).

My guess is 1) did the trick.

Dragos

Hi All,

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Workstation Components, Books
Online and Developments tools.

The setup keeps failing with the error "SQL Server Setup is unable to
run. Either the owning node or all nodes that are currently part of
the virtual server are not available. Review any SCC failures and
validate that all nodes are online."

Thanks in advance,
