group:MSDE installation hangs up
sql server msde:
Hello,
I am having problems with an installation of MSDE. The computer alraedy has an instance of MSDE installed with Outlook for the Contact Manager and I have no problems with that instance. A new application I have installed also uses an instance of MSDE for a database. During the installation of this application (Sony Media Manager) the MSDE installation hangs up an dnever completes. The only way out is to use task manager. Examining the log file it appears to be sqlredis.exe that is hanging. I have searched the web and MS knowledge-bases and found nothing that fixes this problem. We really need this element of the application to work so that we can efficiently access our media database. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated. Sid.
Thank you for the suggestion, however, when I try to kill setupre.exe I get
an error the access is denied. Sid.

I tried one more thing, I uninstalled my Norton AV and your trick then
allowed the MSDE to continue. However, the installer reported an "unknown error" after I killed the exe and the application is still unable to access the database. Any other suggestions please? Sid.

BTW, it 's usually recommended to define exceptions in the the AV programs for "*.Mdf" , "*.Ndf" and "*.Ldf", but this is another story... -- Andrea Montanari (Microsoft MVP - SQL Server) http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm http://italy.mvps.org DbaMgr2k ver 0.16.0 - DbaMgr ver 0.61.0 (my vb6+sql-dmo little try to provide MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 a visual interface) --------- remove DMO to reply
The dirty trick that Andrea describes is certainly a good workaround.
However, the root cause may be described in Microsoft’s Knowledge Base article 841061: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;841061 They suggest there that your bootstrap program may be causing the hang by not responding to a synchronous message broadcast to all top level windows. If that doesn’t apply, you may be in the situation I’ve just solved, after several hours’ detective work! :-) I discovered another application on the machine was causing the hang. In this case, it was “Citi Virtual Account Numbers†made by Orbiscom, distributed by CitiBank. I’m sure there are other possible culprits. My guess is that this program is not responding to the synchronous message broadcast to all top level windows. It has an icon in the tray at the bottom right. Perhaps Microsoft could comment on why setupre.exe needs to broadcast synchronous messages, seeing as it’s the real cause of this hassle. [quoted text, click to view] "sidprice@softtools.com" wrote:
