  On my PC with Windows XP SP3, near the end of the intended installation of ms sql server 2008 express edition, the following error inhibits finishing:

  "Ein MOF-Syntaxfehler ist aufgetreten" ("a MOF-syntax error has occurred"), presumed that "MOF" means "MOF", whatever this shall be.

  At this moment, the other window with "installation status" has been working at the highlighted item "installation satus", the last one before the end.

  The progress bar ist at 4/5th filled up and below it the text "SqlEngineConfigAction_install_configurationrc_Cpu32" appears.

  If I click at the question mark of the error message window, I am asked to allow the following information to be sent over the internet:

  linkID 20476

  Produktname Microsoft SQL Server (=product name)

  Meldungsquelle setup.rtl (=message source)

  Meldungs-ID 50000 (=message id)

  Produktversion 10.0.2531.0 (=product version)

  EvtType 0x0A2FBD17%401211%401

  After allowing the information to be sent, I get a HTML page in my browser saying:

  "We're sorry

  There is no additional information about this issue in the Error and Event Log Messages or Knowledge Base databases at this time. You can use the links in the Support area to determine whether any additional information might be available elsewhere.

  Thank you for searching on this message; your search helps us identify those areas for which we need to provide more information."

  Repeated trials after rebooting my pc, after deinstallation of the installtion trial, during different wheather and on odd and even dates and so on didn't change the behavior.

  Can anybody give me a reasonable idea how to approach the problem (if a reply comes faster than within a week, I won't be able to reply instantly).

  With kind regards an thanks in advance, Gerald Schade

  P.S.: Afterwords, the following services show an erroneous status:

  database module services, sql server replication, full text search, reporting services,

  whereas the following show o.k.:

  buisiness intelligence development studio, administration tools simple, ms sync framework.
