Problem while installing SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on Windows 2000 PRO SP4...Can't In

Hi everyone...

I'm facing a problem while installing the SQL Server 2005 Express on Windows 2000 Pro with SP4.

After finishing the downloading from Microsoft I start the installation and things seems to go ok but during Extracting Files step a message appears "SQL Server Setup unexpectedly failed. For more information, review the setup summary log file in %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Summary.txt" and it terminates the installation.

I located the log file and open it but can't understand the problem..I copy the text and paste it here for anyone who can understand it.Please, it is very importand for me to work with SQL Server for my project. Any advice or information or anything else?

Thank you all,

HERE IS THE LOG FILE:

Something seems to be going wrong with the datastore that SQL setup uses to store information during installation. I'm going to send this over to the setup experts.

Hi Prassakis,

Suggest to create a CD after you extracted the data from install package SQLEXPR32.EXE

on the commandline into a Folder with SQLEXPR32.EXE -X

See details under the issue I raised: Express SP2 install error

Maybe it might solve it for you too?

cheers,

Fred
