    Hi!

    Did you find any solutions to this problem?, because I have the same problem in a Virtual Machine with Windows 2003.

    Thanks!!

    Hi

    Yes we got it sorted. We were trying to install this onto a virtual machine, running the installer from a seperate server which wasn't working.

    We copied the installer over onto the virtual machine itself and ran it from there.

    It worked ok after that.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    You can get problems even on SQL 2008 R2 if you try to run the install on a networked drive. It is always best to have the install media on a drive that Windows thinks is local.
