Installing MSDE 2000 Rel A

Hi all,
I am unable to install MSDE on Window XP pro, SP2. Setup rolls back every
time without any indication of why. I had an earlier installation of MSDE
which I removed manually following the instructions in the Knowledge Base
article. I installed MSDE on a Windows 2000 Pro machine using the same
procedure without any problems.
The command line syntax I'm using is: setup sapwd="[mypassword]"
SECURITYMODE=SQL
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
When you manually uninstalled MSDE did you also remove the "MSSQLServer" key
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft ? That key and the "Microsoft
SQL Server" key needs to be removed. Also remove the entire directory tree
under c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server. Also, reboot the machine after
doing the manual uninstall.

|||Hi Jim,
I did delete those keys from the registry with no luck.
In a separate post, I uploaded part of the install log what appears to point
to the problem . Searching for "return value 3" I found the following:
"Starting custom action InstallPerfMon
Registering performance counters from sqlctr.ini
PerfmonLoad routine returned error code 6
Action ended 11:32:55: InstallFinalize. Return value 3."
According to a Knowledge Base article, the only solution to this involves
some advanced level tinkering with the registry, which I don't feel
comfortable undertaking. Is there any other way?
Thanks for your reply.

installing hotfix SQL2000-KB810185-8.00.0780-ENU

I am attempting to install this hotfix on a second instance of SQL Server
2000 running sp3 on a window 2003 server. I successfully installed the
hotfix on the first instance with no problems following the same sequence of
events against the first instance.
I am unable to install as it tells me one of the files is write locked. I
have shutdown both instances (SQL server and SQL agent) as well as the MSDTC.
I have shutdown the Window 2003 server and attempted to run the install. I
was successfully able to install the hotfixes on 2 instances on another
server running the same products.
The file in question is dbmslpcn.dll.
Any suggestions ?
1. Try renaming the DLL - does this work?
2. Run TLIST (included in windows resource kit) to see what app is holding
a lock to this DLL
syntax: TLIST -m <DLL>/<.exe Name>
3. shutdown all unecessary services and set to manual mode, then reboot.
See KB for a list of services to NOT shut down:
INF: Order of Installation for SQL Server 7.0 Clustering Setup WGID:249
ID: 219264
Do not shut off any services necessary for disk or network access.

Installation Stalls at "Detecting Installed IIS"

I try to install but once it gets to Installation Status window it freezes at Detecting Installed IIS. What do I do to get past this wonderful step? And who tested this installation process? Better yet, who let it be releases with so many bugs?

do you have Norton/Symantec antivirus software running on your machine? If so, temporarily disable it and rerun setup.

|||

Thank youl. I finally had success.

Seems like turning it off (Symantec Antivirus) was not a guarantee for success -- I did turn it off before with no success; uninstalling all might have helped too where I then installed it fresh.

Installation MSDE - worked first time not second

Hello,
On my Window 2000 machine I was able to install MSDE one time. However, was
having trouble actually connecting to the new database server so I though I
would reinstall. Well, I have not had a succesful reinstall yet (I was
closer the first time around). Now, I am a long ways off from developing
anything with MSDE and the instruction on how to set this DB Server up is
not apparent!
I am very frustrated. I don't know what to do at this point.
Please help.
Karl

please make sure that previous MSDE installation has been completely fixed,
removing all file system and registry entries as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q290991
this will clean up all info of previously installed and (partially) removed
instances but Window Installer registry entries..
in order to clear them to, you have to follow
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320873 advices,
using MSIZap.exe from Platform SDK... I never cleared that and have found no
further problems, but my registry is now dirty :-(

Just recently, I have been trying to obtain the MSIZAP.EXE application but
it is wrapped in together with another SDK. Well, this SDK as failed 2 times
now to install, using the ActiveX installer from MS. So now what? Is there
another way to obtain MSIZAP.EXE?
By the way, this is a fresh copy of Win2K loaded on this system... I'm not
having much luck.
