Top  Previous  Next

 

Question:  When installing Microsoft SQL Server, the following message appears ...

 

 

ts08

 

ts09

 

 

 

Possible Reason:

 

One of the reasons is the current version of MSXML conflicts with MSSQL Server 2005 Express, especially when the operation system is Windows XP.

 

 

Solution

 

Run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to determine if it was because of MSXML version conflict. The CleanUp Utility is mainly used to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems.

 

Step1: Obtain Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (a freeware)

You may obtain the file from: (1) AutoCount Installer CD...under the folder of SupportFiles ...or

(2) Download from website (google with 'Windows Installer Cleanup' ....look for the website of www.softpedia.com....

 

 
ts10

 

 

Step2: Install Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

Install the program using the downloaded setup file.

 

 

Step3: Run Windows Installer Cleanup

Run the program from Start > All Programs

 

 

ts11
 

Look for Installed Product by the name of (All Users) MSXML 6 Service Pack 2 ... and click on Remove to remove it.

(If you could not locate the item, it means the installation failure was not caused by MSXM... it could be other factors such as: Windows security setting etc...)

 

Click on Exit.
 

Start again the installation of Microsoft SQL Server using AutoCount installer CD/DVD.
