I'm installing SQL 2005 and SP4 on a Windows 2003 R2 Cluster (don't ask), and we had some issues installing SP4. These were related to the SQL Installer which had to be uninstalled and then re-installed. This was done by the System Admin, who then also installed the service pack, apparently successfully.
Now however the SQL Server Service won't start! The error I get is "Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server s exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall"
I had hoped I could rebuild master, and initially I had issues because of permission issues on the system database files after they are replaced. I resolved this by setting permissions at the folder level.
Now the rebuild replaces master etc and stats and stops SQL Server, but it now fails with the error: "Failed to set registry settings for server network libraries. The action is SetDefaults. The error is 2 (The system cannot find the file specified)" The closes I've found on the net is "The error is 11001" which isn't helping.
Has anyone seen this before, or must I resort to doing a full install again?
