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.
Cheers, Peter
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.
