  Hi there

  I'd welcome any opinions or links on this problem. Thanks a lot...

  SUMMARY:

  I'm attempting an test install of SQL 2k8 on a clean vmware box

  (Windows 2003 SPK 2).

  Install is failing because SQL Server service cannot start. Excerpt

  form ERRORLOG is below

  NOTES:

  VIA protocol is disabled.

  All services (except browser) are running as domain account with local

  admin membership.

  Force Encryption is set to No for Protocols.

  The certificate entry in the supersocketlib registry key is empty

  (clean build, no upgrade)

  QUESTIONS:

  1. Why would it fail on certificate initialisation if Force Encryption

  is turned off.

  2. What can I do about it?

  ERRORLOG EXCERPT:

  2009-03-24 13:29:30.96 Server Unable to initialize SSL encryption

  because a valid certificate could not be found, and it is not possible

  to create a self-signed certificate.
