Hi ttfo,

Are you remotely installing SQLExpress? If so please see this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;896613
You cannot connect to Visual Studio SQL Server Express on a remote Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the update.

1. Regarding the error message when you install sqlserver 2005. Can you confirm the following points, cheers:
a. Operating System? (XP?)

b. OS Service Pack level? (SP2?)

c. What flavour of SQL? (Express?)

c. Is this a second instance of SQL or the default one thats failing? (first based on the registry key error?)

d. Have you logged on as local administrator, cleared the temp directory, copied the files onto to the C:\ and tried to install from harddisk?

2. Should you continue to experience problems with this machine, is it possible to test with another PC or rebuild the problematic one?

I've encountered this issue on one PC, yet I was able to install SQL Express successfully on another PC via RDP at the same site but not on another PC that was producing the error your seeing. To cut a long story short, we got onsite staff to reboot the (WinXP SP2) Pc and it started showing symptoms seen in this KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;826955
"Virus alert about the Blaster worm and its variants"

3. If you can NOT get another PC to rule-out virus, hardware, media &/or etc related issues as the root cause and would like to pursue troubleshooting.. Can you please run FileMon & RegMon traces (and provide the SQL SETUP LOGS) on the PC while your installing SQL?

Based on the error message, the problem stems from "Error opening file for write: 5." and the API for GetLastError reports a Registry key is to blame: "GetLastError: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Setup." - hence the FileMon and Regmon traces are needed to aid troubleshooting,

To get a FileMon & RegMon traces

goto www.SysInternals.com (I believe the company and its tools were recently purchased by Microsoft - Mark Russinovich and Bruce Cogwell)

Search for FileMon/Regmon
Scroll to bottom of pages
Download the Programs

0. Remote in as Admin and clear the Temp directory.

1. Save Filemon and Regmon to the PC
2. Get ready to start the SQL Express install
3. Launch open Filemon and Regmon. - To start with I recommend stopping the traces and clearing the logs (with tool bar buttons) because when you launch open the programs they quickly start tracing out Disk and Registry Activity
4. When you get very close to the problem occurring start FileMon/RegMon together - tracing out all the activity in real-time.
5. After you encounter the problem, stop the FileMon/Regmon traces
6. Zip up ALL the traces INCLUDING ALL THE SQL SETUP LOGS YOU CAN FIND - hehe and also RUN THE "mps reports" -sql flavour, on the pc - and post them online!!

Regarding the error messages link: setup.rll 2380 error, try looking in your application event log for the events leading up to the problem and cross reference them with www.EventID.net

HTH

PS the tip to analysing these Regmon/FileMon files is (off the top of my head) > Excel > Data menu > Filter item > Auto Filter item. Then select the combobox with Success, Path not found > and set it to DEVICE DATA ERROR or ACCESS DENIED & hunt down those leads!!

Thanks for the reply, although I am a little late in responding. I ended up formating the disk and starting over. It worked ok then.

Thansk for the help.

Thanks for the update Tony,

Good move reformatting the HDD... as your dont want a production system thats potentially been corrupted.

Cheers,

Jeremy

installation package could not be opened

We tried installing reporting services and first got the error:
"The install has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 25619.
We then installed with the following switch per kb867872:
setup.exe /i"Setup\Rsrun.msi" RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE
Now we get the error:
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package
exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify
that this is a valid windows installer package."
We have tried different combinations of fully qualified paths for setup.exe
and rsrun.msi with no success and still we continue to get this message.
Anyone know how to get this blanket-blank reporting services installed?
Thanks for your time.Hi.
I've just spent the morning with this problem, and have found a solution!
The command line:
setup.exe /i"Setup\Rsrun.msi" RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE
needs to be similar to this example:
Y:\Sql Reporting Services\setup.exe /iY:\Sql Reporting
Services\Setup\Rsrun.msi RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE
ie, ensure you fully qualify all the paths. AND remove the quotation marks
around the ~\Setup\Rsrun.msi parameter!!
Good luck

Installation error 25619

When installing Reporting Services, I get an error "The
installer has encountered and unexpected error installing
this package. This may indicate a problem with this
package. The error code is 25619. This happens at the very
end of the installation process.
I am using Windows 2000 with SQL server 2000. The report
server and reportservertemp databases are created. I do
not have VisualStudio.Net installed.
I got the same error with BETA2Michael wrote:

I'm having the same problem with exactly the same setup as you. Please
let me know if you resolve it, and I'll do the same.

Yes I get the same thing as well!! I also have Sharepoint on the same
Windows 2003 Server and thought it might be related to that. But sounds
like it isn't - I also think it might be due to my IIS6 not being in
its default installation state. If this is the case, thats just
stupid.
Someone please help!!
