I had 1.5.1. installed and unistalled before trying to load 1.6. The 1.6 install failed so I checked the forum and could see there was a updated version of the install so I downloaded it and tried again. I uninstalled the failed 1.6 and tried the install again and it failed again - as best as I can remember in exactly the same manner as the first install. I took a screen shot of the install progress and errors which is attached.

My system is a 1Gb XP AMD laptop with Visual Team Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. All with the latest service packs.

Make sure the c:\program files\common files\microfour\strataframe\StrataFrame.pkg file was installed.  If so, run the setup again and choose Modify or Repair and run through the setup again.  If the file is missing let me know because this would be your problem.

The only other thing I can think of is that the temp folder where files were extracted does not have one of the extracted files expected.  Just try the repair and let's see if it goes through.

Still no luck. Here's what I did:

1) Confirmed the pkg files existed - it did (and still does).

2) Downloaded current version although I pretty sure this what I had for the first install.

3) Installed as a repair.

4) Install stopped - see screen shot. Note the following: a) Says the sample databases had been built but not as far as SQL Server is concerned (started the SQL Server Console after the install hung) and b) The two install jobs are not getting any run time (BTW the Application tab in Task Manager didn't report any running jobs).

5) Could not close down the install screen and tried both a close down and a restart from the Task Manager and neither of which worked. In the end had to power my computer off.

6) On the restart I confirmed the pkg file still existed.

The one with the latest date would be the best... we're wondering where within the data deployment it died.

I had a look in the logs and could see:

"Cannot create file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\DATA\StrataFrame.mdf' because it already exists. Change the file path or the file name, and retry the operation."

I will delete the existing StrateFrame databases and try again. Will let you know how it goes and, if it fails, I will send the logs.

No problems with any existing info - actually probably better because I was just playing around until 1.6 came along and, yes, the install went ok.

When I ran the CRM demo I received the attached error. I don't care about this unless it indicates a problem that needs to be fixed before we do any serious work in SF.

See attached screen shot - I don't have that directory? Again, unless this could cause other problems I don't care about not being able to run the sample.
