    SQL Server 2008 Install Failure Code 2147467259

    Reply Contact

     I have spend at least 6 hrs trying to install SQL Server 2008.  I am not one to give up.  But, I am exhausted trying to figure it out.  I have read the pre-requisites and I think I am good to go.  I do not know what my problem is.

     

    Can anybody please help me here?

     

    Here is the last few lines of my log file.

    Install exit code for product 'SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1' is -2147467259
    DownloadManager Error: 0 : Install return code for product 'SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1' is Failure
    DownloadManager Information: 0 : Product SQL Server Express 2008 with Service Pack 1 done install completed
    DownloadManager Information: 0 : Increasing current install to 2

     

    XP Professional OS

     

    Sincerely,

     Ian

     Hi Ian,

     I have the same problem! I've even done a fresh install of my operating system. Although, I am using Windows 7 OS at the moment. Perhaps this is an issue? It does give me a warning about "known compatibility issues" but a quick google search shows that many people have installed this successfully!

     Any help would be appreciated.

     

    KRegards.

    Hi Ian +  Wuddin

    While the results of SQL not failing it does appear that your failures may be from different root causes due to the different return codes returned from the installer.  (2147467259 and 2068578304 ) .  To examine this further the location of the SQL logs can be found here.  

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\<DateTimeStamp>

    For review please forward the logs to WebPi@microsoft.com  

    Thanks
