Hello,
I have downloaded SQL Server standard edition from MSDN in French. I try to
install it on a windows 7 Professionnel. I get the error :
"TITLE: Erreur du programme d'installation de SQL Server.
------------------------------

Le programme d'installation de SQL Server a rencontré l'erreur suivante :

La clé de produit SQL Server n'est pas valide. Pour continuer, entrez Ã*
nouveau les chiffres de la clé de produit qui se trouvent sur le certificat
d'authenticité (COA) ou sur le coffret de SQL Server.

Code d'erreur 0x84B40000.

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------
"

it seems to be a key error ?

Can you tell me wath is wrong ?

Thanks

First I would try downloading again. Also, how did you use the ISO
image? Something could have gone wrong in that process.

If all that fails, I would consider contacting the MSDN Concierge.

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried to download the developper version and I have the same error. I
have contacted the MSDN concierge but they cannot help me, and tell me to
post the problem here.....

I don't know what I can do .....

Thanks for your help, English version doesn't return the same error. The
french version seems to have a bad key....

You need to beat that MSDN Concierge up a little bit more, and have
them to actually install a French version. (I don't really have the
time to try it myself right now. The World Cup in football is keeping
me busy....)
