| this is win7 home prem, and yes I am running as adminI've spent the better part of the weekend trying to install server 2008 dev edition, see previous post about bad install.I uninstalled all the various sql programs, and deleted the sql directory in program files to try for a fresh start.now the install won't even run. there is a splash file that starts but justs stops with a message it can't complete. if I run setup.exe, (which ran a few times previous but ended up with bad installs) now that won't even run because evidently now it can't/won't copy a setup program setup100.exe to bootstrap directory that is created as part of the startup process. below is the error file for this new situation02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: The following is an exception stack listing the exceptions in outermost to innermost order02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: Inner exceptions are being indented02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: 02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: Exception type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.ChainerInvalidOperationException02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: Message: 02/20/2011 17:41:42 Slp: Unable to run the installed bootstrap program as the provided path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\setup100.exe' does not exist.MY NOTE, THE ABOVE DIRECTORY EXISTS BUT THE SETUP100.EXE IS NOT THERE HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE!!!!!!!02/20/2011 17:41:43 Slp: Stack: 02/20/2011 17:41:43 Slp: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.BootstrapExtension.LaunchBootstrapAction.ExecuteAction(String actionId)02/20/2011 17:41:43 Slp: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Chainer.Infrastructure.Action.Execute(String actionId, TextWriter errorStream)02/20/2011 17:41:43 Slp: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Setup.Chainer.Workflow.ActionInvocation.InvokeAction(WorkflowObject metabase, TextWriter statusStream)02/20/2011 17:41:43 Slp: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Setup.Chainer.Workflow.PendingActions.InvokeActions(WorkflowObject metaDb, TextWriter loggingStream) |
