Problem:
During initial installation of Argos, the following message appears:
"The installation of Sepialine SQL 2XXX Express RTM (x86 & x64WOW) appears to have failed. Do you want to continue the installation?"
Resolution:
The Sepialine SQL Express installer simplifies the SQL installation process by suppressing most configuration options. Therefore, if the installation fails, it will not return a specific error message to explain why.
 |
The most common reason for the SQL Express installation to fail is a pending reboot requirement. If any Windows Updates have been installed, or any other programs installed and requested a reboot, SQL Express 2008 will not install until this requirement has been met. |
SQL Express 2008 includes a tool called System Configuration Checker to help troubleshoot why the installer fails. To access the System Configuration Checker, follow these steps.
- Browse to c:\ArgosInstallers\SepialineSQL\ISSetupPrerequisites\Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express RTM (x86 & x64WOW)
- Run SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe. This will open the SQL Server Installation Center
- Click Tools
- Click System Configuration Checker
- The Setup Support Rules dialog will appear. All possible prerequisites will be shown, and any with a status of "Failed" should be addressed before running the Sepialine SQL Express 2008 installer.
- Click the "Failed" link to see the details.
- Click Cancel to exit the System Configuration Checker, address the pending requirements, and run the Argos Installer Launcher again to complete your Argos installation.
|
Depending on the version of Argos you are installing, the path to SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe may be slightly different. Additionally, if you installed the Argos Installer in a different location than c:\ArgosInstallers (D:\ArgosInstallers, for example), then browse to the corresponding path. |
