Installation of MS SQL Database 2005 on Windows XP Home Sp3 fails with no specific error
- by PiotrK
I am trying to install MS SQL Database 2005 on Windows XP Home SP3. It fails giving no reason ("Database failed to install"), then exits. I had already installed MS SQL Database Express Edition 2008 during 2005 setup. But when I removed 2008 one and tried to install 2005 afterwards it still failed with same error.
The error happens when I am trying to install Dragon Age Toolset or Visual 2008 Pro edition.
I do not known which else informations may be valuable as I never before encountered problems with installing MS database
