I am still having problems to install SQL Server 2005 express edition, doesn't
matter which version. The first time it was installed with BackupExec 10d
without any problem. Any entry from Veritas/Symantec is also removed with
there support. The only problem now is to reinstall the express edition.

It always returns:

Error: Action "LaunchLocalBootstrapAction" threw an exception during execution.
Error information reported during run: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\setup.exe" finished and returned: 128 Message pump returning: 128

I have uninstalled according to document KB909967 and through the following
posts:

http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/07/01/434814.aspx

Also cleaned up the registry by hand from any Microsoft SQL Server entry
and searched for version number 9.00.2047.00 after cleaning up.

Best regards

Do you have any other Instance of SQL Server (any edition?) insalled
already?

Can you post the error log itself? Maybe we can track the progress and come
to a conclusion.

Hello Ekrem,

If you can be so nice to search for this posting "SQL Express Edition installation
problem" from 13.02.08 15:11PM. There i have added the SQLSetup0002_servername_Core(Local)
Or do you need all 5 logs? But they are really big.

Best regards

Hello Ekrem,

think this is the easier way:

i am trying to install SQL Express Edition on a cluster node and during the
setup it stops just. On the cluster node was installed BackupExec11d which
was removed and also completely deleted from the registry.Also did follow
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967 as much as possible.

Native client and setup support files will be installed correctly, the next
window pops up and closes after 5 seconds.

In the summary.txt you can see only this:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 9.00.2047.00 ============================== OS
Version : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Enterprise Edition Service
Pack 2 (Build 3790) Time : Wed Feb 13 14:27:59 2008

This is the SQLSetup0002_servername_Core(Local):

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup beginning at Wed Feb 13 14:27:40 2008
Process ID : 5680
d:\879dc885058a304b6c26369c9670f940\setup.exe Version: 2005.90.2047.0
Running: LoadResourcesAction at: 2008/1/13...

Sorry, these messages do not make any sense to me.

It seems you are experiencing this error for a long time. I hope an MSFT
notices this problem and helps you...

Hello Ekrem,

Small update. After removing the "&" from a Cluster group name like "quorum
& whatever" to "quorum whatever" it runs without any problem. Level 1 and
2 support from MS figured it out.
