same problem... anyone who had this error and solved it? I have the same problem. I try to install MS SQL 2008 server R2 (64 bit) on a windows 2008 server 64 bit edition (also domain controller). It is purely for a test machine but I cannot install MS SQL because of this error. Any help appreciated. Kind Regards, Nico...
Installing SQL Server 1008 R2 on a windows guest OS I am personally running SQL Server S008 R2 on both a Windows 7 (x64) and a Windows 2008 R2 Server Instance. In both cases having received the error. You first must download the NEW setup from Microsoft and then to install correctly you MUST make sure that you install as an ADMINISTRATOR.
Hi bill, thanks for your reply. I tried to install the enterprise edition while the standard edition was more then enough for the test I wanted to perform. So when I installed the standard edition (also 64bit) I did not encounter the same issue (I was logged on as administrator in both cases). So problem is solved although I still don't know why the enterprise edition failed. Kind Regards, Nico...
