  Guys,

  We are using Qemu to emulate windows server 2003 in Linux environment. We installed .NET framework 2.0 and IIS 6.0 on the virtual machine but,when we try to install SQL Server 2005 on windows server 2003 running under Qemu. SQL Server 2005 setup.exe ends up even before starting the installation and in the application log we can see the following error

  .NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A05E2B3) (80131506)

  Please note the .NET framework 2.0 was successfully installed on the machine before we started SQL server 2005 setup.

  We have been using/installing SQL Server since a long time but never faced this kind of issue

  We were wondering that if there is any limitations SQL Server to install on the windows server 2003 that is running under qemu.

  Any help would be highly appreciated.

  Muhammad

  I haven't run that particular virtual machine engine, but I have run SQL Server on virtual servers.

  Have you tested to make sure the .NET framework is running correctly?
