Hi,

I am running Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition R2 x64 and I installed SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition. All of the preliminary checks run fine (Apart from a warning about Windows Firewall and opening ports which is unrelated to this and shouldn't be an issue - I can open those ports).

Half way through the actual installation, I get a popup with this error:

Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to data movement.

The installation still runs to completion when I press ok.

However, at the end, it states that the following services "failed":

database engine services sql server replication full-text search reporting services

How do I know if this actually means that anything from my installation (which is on a clean Windows Server setup - nothing else on there, no previous SQL Servers, no upgrades, etc) is missing?

I know from my programming experience that locks are for concurrency control and the Microsoft help on this issue points to changing my query's lock/transactions in a certain way to fix the issue. But I am not touching any queries?

Also, now that I have installed the app, when I login, I keep getting this message:

TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to MSSQLSERVER.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 67)

BUTTONS:

OK

I went into the Configuration Manager and enabled named pipes and restarted the service (this is something I have done before as this message is common and not serious). I have disabled Windows Firewall temporarily. I have checked the instance name against the error logs.

Please advise on both of these errors. I think these two errors are related.

Thanks
