Re: SQL2008 installation problem - Setup support rules

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

Hello Joep,

I encountered this problem several times but they were SQL Server 2005 installations. However, I'll try to explain you the common scenario so that you may find a way to solve your problem.

A prior halted installation may cause this. In this case, I go to Control Panel's Add\Remove Programs and then select Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and click the Change button. Then a different window appears and asks you to continue installation. So, the halted installation is completed and you can upgrade this instance or install new instances without getting this "Restart" necessity.

As I told you, I have not experienced this problem in my SQL Server 2008 installations yet. I hope it works for SQL Server 2008 too.

Hi Folks

I'm also encounter this problem.
When i try to install Sql Server 2008 enterprise, i als do see the message:
Rule "Restart computer" Failed.
After several reboots, i' still do see that message.
I've looked for a solution on the internet, but nothing is helping me, even
clearing some entries in the registry.
I do have a brand new pc with Vista Business installed. I've also McAfee
installed, but i've turned it down for the installation.
Could anyone help me?
