Setup.exe shows command box and nothing happens (SQL 2008)

  • Hi All,

    I am facing this very annoying problem with SQL server 2008 developer edition (32-bit) installtion.

    I have Win XP SP3, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and windows installer 4.5

    When I clicke the setup.exe file I see a command box opening but after that nothing happens.

    There is no place on internet that I have not visited to find a solution to this problem, but I have been unsuccessful so far.

    As suggested in many forum threads, I have uninstalled/installed all versions of .NET frameworks successufully. I have also copied all the installations from installation CD to hardisk and replaced .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 with the latest version in the x86 folder as again suggested in various forums.

    I am installing from en_sql_server_2008_developer_x86_x64_ia64_dvd_x14-88839 folder

    Also I have noticed that If I manually try to run any exe file under x86 folder I get error 'program too big to fit in memory'. For example, if I click on file INSTMSI45XP.EXE under ..redist\Windows Installer\x86, I get this error.

    This is the final stop for me to try finding a solution. I hope to get some good help here 🙂

    Following is the content from the sqlsetup.log file from the TEMP folder.

  • You mentioned copying the data to your hard drive can you confirm that it's the correct location for the install you are using D:\en_sql_server_2008_developer_x86_x64_ia64_dvd_x14-88839

    Looks like the x86\setup100.exe might be missing or there's a security policy preventing its execution

    Which folder are you attempting to load the setup.exe from?

  • Hi Nicholas,

    Thank you for highlighting the error. I didn't see it!

    Setup100.exe file is under the folder x86. I think for some strange reason this file is not getting executed. When I tried to run this file from command prompt, it showed me the error "program too big to fit in memory". I get this message for all the .EXE files. Is it that the installation files are corrupt?

    thanks.

  • Unfortunately that appears to be the issue, yes.

    Have you attempted further installs on the original dvd? If you get the same error there then you should work with whoever provided you with the install (Microsoft or external vendor) to obtain a working version.

  • Thank you very much once again Nicholas. You are the only one who gave me the correct hint!

    Finally I got it installed!

    The problem was in the installation files indeed. They were corrupt. I realized it only after I tried running a few .EXE files in random, which showed me error like "program too big to fit in memory" or "MSI file is corrupt'.

    I used a different ISO file and now everything is working fine!. For those who may be facing similar problem, you must extract all the file to the hard disk from the ISO file and then replace the .NET framework 3.5 SP1 with the one downloaded from the Microsoft website.
