On my W2k machine the installation process of SQK Server 2005 Express aborts
with: "SQL server setup unexpectedly failed".

I already deinstalled the Beta and SQL Server 7 from this host, still
without succes.

The setup process writes the following log entries shown below.

Any help is appreciated!

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

From your descriptions, I understood you cannot install SQL Server 2005
Express Edition with the error message

Error: Action "ParseBootstrapOptionsAction" failed during execution. Error
information reported during run:

If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

First of all, since you have installed beta version of SQL Server 2005
before, please use Windows Installer CleanUp to remove the possible
remainings in your system.

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

Secondly, would you please let me know

1. Does you login account has local administrator privilege?
2. Are you installing the SQL Server 2005 Express on failover clustering
node?

Hi Michael,

Well, the error message is so long that I don't know which part is really
relevant, but I hope somebody at MS is able to interpret that error log entry.

have to check whether it was this specific tool you mention.

installation.



Thanks.

Best regards,
Martin

I used Windows installer clean-up now and removed everything that had SQL in
the name. Still the same result:
- The files are extracted into a temp directory
- The error message is shown
- the temp directory is deleted

Martin

Hi Martin,

ParseBootstrapOptionsAction is an internal API call and usually it is
caused on SQL Server failover clustering so it's strange that you
installation on laptop report this error message.

To find out the root cause of this issue we need to analyze memory dumps,
this work has to be done by contacting Microsoft Customer Service and
Support. Therefore, we probably will not be able to resolve the issue
through the newsgroups. If the issue is urgent, I recommend that you open a
Support incident with Microsoft Customer Service and Support so that a
dedicated Support Professional can assist with this case. If you need any
help in this regard, please let me know.

numbers, please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:

Did you ever reach a resolution on this issue? I am having the identical
problem and would like to know how to fix it. Thx.

No, I tore out all remainders of previous SQl Server and Visual Studio
installations on the computer according to various instructions found on the
Internet, even increased the main memory of the laptop, but still no success.
It's a real pain.

I have sort of given up my hope of getting any help from MS on this.

Hello Martin,

From the log sqls::CryptSameUserSameMachine::ProtectData, it seems the
issue is related crypto subsystem of the OS has become damaged. You may try
the following article to test the sitaution:

You receive error message 0x80090016 or error message 0x8009000f when you
try to schedule a task
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;246183

Also, you may want to re-apply Win2000 SP4 and try the SQL express setup
again.

As Michael mentioned, since the issue is cuased by internal API call, to
find the root cause, please contact CSS directly so that they may find some
clues by dump analysis or live debug. Thanks for your understanding.

Hello Peter,

Great! That was the solution: The Protected Storage service was not running
on my computer. Now it installed and works perfectly.

Thanks a lot!
