Default SQL 2008R2 Install Fails with: Action "PostMsiTimingConfigAction" - 06-15-2010 , 12:47 PM






When trying to install SQL2008 R2 Developer Edition x64 on Windows 7 x64, I
am getting an Error:

2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp:
------------------------------------------------------------
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp: C:\tmp\sql\x64\FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe exit code: 0
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp: Completed Action: FixSqlRegistryKey, returned True
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp: Running Action: PostMsiTimingConfigAction
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp: The object state property 'workflow' is null/empty.
2010-06-12 22:05:40 Slp: Error: Action "PostMsiTimingConfigAction" failed
during execution.

This workstation also has VS2010 installed, and SQL 2008 and VS2010 have
been uninstalled, still getting the same error.

Without rebuilding the workstation, what am I missing?

Thank You,

Good question. Setup errors can be very difficult to understand.

Is this your own machine at home? Or is it a machine at work, where a
sysadmin may have set some evil group policy?

Do the dashes indicate that you have edited out some parts? Are you
sure that there is nothing of interest there?

You could submit a bug report on
http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver/feedback and be sure you
include all the log files from the setup. Don't expect an instant
answer, but you should hear something in a week.

Any resolution on this, I'm getting the same error when I try to do an
unattended install.

I would suggest that you post a bug to
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/

Make sure to include logs, as described in the comment from Microsoft
in this bug:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLSer...03/cant-start-
sql-server-2008-r2-database-engine

If it is urgent, you are better off opening a case with Microsoft.
