HI,

I was trying to install SQL workgroup edition once the files are extracted
it gives me an error "SQL server Setup unexpectedly failed" with log saved
with a huge file as shown below:

i've un-installed all instace of SQL cleaned up from program files, also
..net framework 3.0 and latest version of windows installer are installed.

i would appreciate if anyone can comment on the solution for this!!!!!!
