Hello All -

I am having a problem rebuilding the master db (for a collation change) on an installed SQL 2005 instance. I am recieving the error: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2711. The specified feature name ("SQL_ENGINE") not found in feature table.

I have put the current instance in single user mode via the sqlservr -m command and executed the command:

start /wait E:\media\SQL2k5\SQLENTSEL_2K5\Servers\setup.exe INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER REINSTALL=SQL_ENGINE REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD=XXXXXXXX SQLCOLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Unfortunately, I can't find much info on this error. My last resort is going to be to add/remove via the control panel, but haven't gotten there yet. any suggestions?

B
