Hi ALL,

I'd tried to install Visual Studio .NET 2005 Professional Edition on a
Windows 2000 domain PC (Windows XP with SP2 + latest patches), and
everything was fine except the last step (i.e. installing SQL Express). I
got the error message "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x86: [2]
Component Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x86 returned an
unexpected value. ***EndOfSession***". Further investigation on the error in
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG" found the
error message "Product: SQL Server Database Services Error: SQL Server Setup
failed to execute a command for server configuration. The error was
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot alter the login 'sa',
because it does not exist or you do not have permission.. Refer to the
server error logs and Setup logs for detailed error information." I used a
domain account with local administrator privilege to install. I doubt
whether my domain policy affect the installation. Could someone tell me what
security policy I should set to allow the installation of the Visual Studio
.NET 2005 Professional on a domain PC (logging on using domain account which
has local administrator privilege on the domain PC) .

TIA.

It 's very important that you uninstall all old versions before installing
VS2005. There is a list on the microsoft side which files to uninstall.
Hans

If you decide to uninstall manually, without using the tool, be sure you
uninstall ALL Visual Studio 2005 product editions BEFORE you uninstall the
.NET Framework 2.0.

1.. Go to the Control Panel and launch Add/Remove Programs
2.. Remove "MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2005 Beta"
3.. Remove "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition"
4.. Remove "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition"
5.. Remove "Microsoft SQL Native Client"
6.. Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 64bit Prerequisites Beta" (This step
is needed only if Visual Studio is installed on a 64-bit machine)
7.. Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office System 2005 Runtime
Language Pack" (This step is not needed if you have only the English
Edition)
8.. Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office System 2005 Runtime
Beta"
9.. Remove "DMA Transport Update for VS 2005 Beta 2"
10.. Remove "Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Beta"
11.. Remove "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Beta"
12.. Remove "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 1.0"
13.. Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional" or other related
IDE installs such as (Visual Studio Professional/Standard/Enterprise
Architect/Team Suite, etc.)
14.. Remove "Microsoft Document Explorer 2005 Language Pack" (This step is
not needed if you have only the English Edition)
15.. Remove "Microsoft Document Explorer 2005" (This step is needed for
post-Beta2 builds)
16.. Remove "Microsoft SQL Mobile 2005 Development Tools"
17.. Remove "Microsoft 64-bit SDK" (This step is only needed if Visual
Studio is installed on a 64-bit machine)
18.. Remove "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger (x64)" (This
step is needed only if Visual Studio is installed on a 64-bit machine)
19.. Remove "Microsoft MDAC 2.8 SP1" (This step is needed only if you are
running Windows 2000)
20.. Remove "Microsoft MSXML 6 SDK and Parser"
21.. Remove "Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable 2.0 Beta Language
Pack" (This step is not needed if you have only the English Edition)
22.. Remove "Microsoft Visual J# Redistributable Package 2.0 Beta"
23.. Ensure all Visual Studio 2005 products have been removed from your
system
24.. Remove "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Beta Language pack" (This step
is not needed if you have only the English Edition)

Hi Hans,

We had tried to setup the Visual Studio .NET 2005 in a fresh install domain
Windows XP Prof. with SP2 (and latest patches). The setup still fails when
installing the component "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x86".
Other components were successfully installed.

Regards,

M Chan
