Author  Topic  guy_4413 Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2010-12-04 : 15:10:42 Hi, I am trying to install the SQL Server 2008 R2 (the Avaluation version). There is a problem at the end of installation - an error message; "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". afterwords there is another simillar error message. I can see at the services list that only that the problem is with the Analysis service which indeed can not be started. I had a former installation of sql server 2005 which I removed before this installtion. I have tried to install it both in SP2 and SP3 enviornment - same results. you can see a part of the summary installation log and my Machine Properties at the end of this problem description. I would glad to have a solution for that. Thanks, Guy you can see a part of the summary installation and my Machine Properties log: Overall summary: Final result: SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup. Exit code (Decimal): -733426222 Exit facility code: 1096 Exit error code: 52690 Exit message: SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup.
