PLEASE Help.

Rich

Have you had previous versions of SQL 2005 installed on the same computer? Which versions?|||No its a clean install of Windows 2003 Sp1 and its not a DC. Crazy.|||

Moving to the setup forum.

Hi Rich,

The error code looks like this:

# for decimal 5 / hex 0x5
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED winerror.h
# Access is denied.

Are you running with Admin privileges when trying to install the SQL product?

|||any updates?|||

Fin,

Thanks for asking. I decided to wipe the server clean, install 2003 and all the updates. Then try the express install. This time it worked.

Thank,

Rich
