Windows 4.5 installation has failed
SQL Server 2008 Setup requires the Windows Installer 4.5 to be
successfully installed.
Funny thing is that it asks for dot net 3.5 install before that. I got
the full install of dot net 3.5 sp1 and stuck it in. Now this failure.
But WI 4.5 has no version for Server 2008. |
I think you should find a forum for Windows Installer to ask about this.
It is unlikely that there is a way to instal SQL 2008 without getting
past this roadblock.
