Re: Cannot install 2005 Developer Edition x64 on new XP x64

There is only one instance running, and a reboot does not help.
I am now trying to install Enterprise Edition from an image mounted on
MagicISO (as opposed to a physical disk) and I am getting the same error.

I can reproduce this error by running a SQL Server Setup and then run it
again while another instance of it was already running. So, could your
problem be exactly this same scenario? Can you check your Task Manager to
see if there are two "setup.exe" and if there is open any, then kill it and
try to run the Setup from the media yourself.

Thanks, guys, but no luck. I went with Ekrem's suggestion and remove the
support files, MSXML and the client. I restarted setup and the exact
error appeared again. I checked with the cleanup utility - the only thing
it installed is the support files.

Download Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to clean any
corrupted SQL Server installation and then try to run SQL Server Setup
again.

Have you tried rebooting your machine?
I've seen this happen and a reboot resolved the issue.
