sql server msde: hi,
[quoted text, click to view]

please add the
/L*v "c:\msdelog.txt"
parameter to the setup.exe call, in order to log the installation process...
this will output a 2mb text file you can inspect for
RETURN VALUE 3
entries...about 10/15 lines before each entry some (sometime cryptic)
descition of the problem raised will be shown..

Hi,

I'm trying to install MSDE with the following command line:

c:\temp\setup.exe sapwd="password"

Password has 12 mixed special characters, upper and lower case letters and
numbers, so I guess it is a strong SA password.

Installation starts, but just before the progress bar reaches the end it
starts rolling back, and no error message is shown.

What can I do to check what is wrong with the installation?

Regards,

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the help.

I did a search on the log file for "RETURN VALUE 3" but it was not found.

Here are the first and last lines, maybe they can help somehow.

hi Luiz,
[quoted text, click to view]

try "localizing" the "RETURN VALUE 3" words in your language, as you are
installing a portuguese localized version :)

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for all. I fixed it with the command line for corrupted registry.
