SQl2k8 R2 Ent stops installation after installing setup files

  • Hi all.

    I'm having trouble installing SQL 2k8 R2 Ent on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. This box had 2k8 express, 2k8 web edition and 2012 R0. Since an upgrade failed, I removed all 3 and attempted to do a fresh install but ran in to a new problem.

    The initial error mentioned something about reporting services files and database still being on the server. A google search mentioned removing these manually, which I did. But as soon as I did that, rebooted and attempted another install, I ran in to a different problem.

    When I run setup.exe, it launches to the initial screen and I click "New installation or add features to an existing installation" and the installation starts. As soon as the installation finishes installing the set-up files, the install window closes and I'm back to the installation center window that originally opens when you run setup.exe. No error, just appears to close the current attempt at installation.

    I checked my setup bootstrap/log files and there are numerous text files in this folder but nothing jumps out as a straight "error" or "cancelling setup". Below is the only thing that may relate to an error and it's the end of the file named "Detail_ComponentUpdate.txt".

    Copying the files from the DVD to the hard drive yielded the same results. I uninstalled everything and manually cleared the install directory. I also tried the upgrade option. I deleted what registry keys I could find relating to SQL Server. Still no luck although these files installed fine on another server.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Mark

  • We are facing same issue... Did you get the fix?

  • The most reliable fix is to reinstall Windows.

    You may be able to get things working by hacking the registry, but you will probably take longer to get things working with this approach than with re-installing Windows. Also, if you reinstall Windows you know you have a stable and repeatable starting point if you ever need to rebuild the server.
