Trouble installing SQL 2005 Dev "SQL Server 2005 fails on MSXML6"

  • I am having trouble installing SQL Server 2005, I have seen that some others are having the same problem. Here is the link to the MSDN Forums Post we have made on the issue. (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2078808&SiteID=1&mode=1)

    Does anyone have any idea on what is happening or the steps to move forward.

  • I found it. This is the solution. Thanks To krobson

    Hey,

    I had the same issues installing MSXML6.0 with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition as part of CRM Dynamics 3.0. Despite there being no policy (local or global) in place to enforce such a thing, I kept getting a failed installation of SQL Express due to an issue with MSXML6.0. Whenever I tried to install MSXML6.0 stand-alone, all I would receive is this blasted error message:

    "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"

    I tried several things over several hours including the following:

    - registered then unregistered Windows installer package

    - uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Installer package

    - logging on as local admin to install

    - creating a policy and enforcing the use of Windows Installer, as well as elevating the install rights of everyone.

    - getting desperate I removed and reinstalled the .NET framework 1.1, 2 and 3 (this was the last thing I changed before having the issues)

    - basically tried every recommendation I found through Google on every forum...TO NO AVAIL.

     

    I used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to remove the install configuration for MSXML6.0.

     

    After that being done, everything works fine now and no words can express my relief...

    I hope this helps someone else.

    Kris
