installation fails with error 1150

  • Hello people,

    The installation of sqlserver2000 on a windows2000 server (SP3) fails

    We see the following error in sqlstp.log

    12:26:01 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\cnfgsvr.exe -F "C:\WINNT\sqlstp.log" -I MSSQLSERVER -V 1 -M 0 -Q "Latin1_General_CI_AI" -H 1114344 -U sa -P

    ###############################################################################

    Starting Service ...

    Latin1_General_CI_AI

    -m -Q -T4022 -T3659

    An error occurred while attempting to start the service (1150)

    SQL Server configuration failed.

    ###############################################################################

    12:35:06 Process Exit Code: (-1)

    12:36:49 Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and C:\WINNT\sqlstp.log for more information.

    After a reboot sqlserver2000 it looks as if sqlserver is deinstalled automatically.

    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Regards,

    Jan.

  • What happens if you restart the installation

  • The installation is restarted 4 times.

    Each time exactly the same error message

  • Sorry, I cannot find it but the is a command line switch you can use with SQL setup that will prompt you at each step. This should give you an idea of at what point this occurrs so you have a better idea of what you are fighting. Also, I cannot remember if when it states

    that the 1150 is the Windows return code. If it is then it is, it means "Wrong Windows Version". Unfortunately I haven't installed the base SQL on Windows 2000 SP3 so not sure if some file may have changed that would upset SQL during the install. Try setting up a test server with Windows 2000 SP2 and do SQL install, then reinstall Windows 2000 and put SP3 before trying SQL install. If you can duplicate the problem under a specified condition then check the MSKB site (i didn't find anything). If you cannot find anything related you might want to burn an incident with MS to get fixed, they charge if there is a KB notice on this otherwise I don't think unknown issues are charged for. Post here if you find a particular point it fails in case we know anything that specific.

  • We have installed sqlserver again, but now only on harddisk C. The installtion was succesfull. I don't understand this because the user had all rights on harddisk D.

    But the problem is solved.

  • Was there a previous install of SQL that maybe had been unistalled or someone started to install to C: then changed mind and stopped. There is a believe a known issue with regards to setting the path if there is something in the registry relating to another install.

  • No, there was not a previous install of SQL.

    It was nothing installled of MSsqlserver

  • No, there was not a previous install of SQL.

    There was nothing installled of MSsqlserver.

    The reason of the problem was that the user system has not enough rights on the d-device. This was the reason that de installation was succesfull when installing only on the c-device.
