MS SQL 7.0 Install Glitch
Is there any chance this failure is due to something really simple like using a domain account to start services on boot or a conflict with a second server on my network domain with the same with the same registration code used during setup? The sqlstop.log tells me the CDKEY VALIDATED, and the cnfgsvr.log tells me "an error occurred while attempting to start the service" (5)....not much to go on. We didn't have any problems with our intial install on the other server - a platform with considerably less available resources.
I've gone so far as to manually delete all the SQLSERVER entries manually from the registry and it doesn't seem to make any difference - the install craps out at the same point everytime.
I'm installing to a large NTFS partition instead of the default boot partition, but we're consistent with this and it hasn't been a problem in the past either.
Ideas?
