QuestionSCCM Release 2 installation fails - Setup was unable to compile MOF files...

    I’m setting up a new child primary site - (have not connected it to our hierarchy yet)– the SQL DBA guy installed SQL Server 2005 SP2, I got SCCM SP1 installed, went to install R2 and got this error message below. I’ve checked all sorts of permissions and keep running into a dead end.  Have others seen this:

     

    Setup was unable to compile MOF files required for installation. Verify that your account is a member of the SMS Admins group on

    the SMS provider computer and that you have Site Administer rights for this site. 0x80070003.

     

    I even tried running the .msi (instead of the splash screen) with logging turned on for some good reading!

    This is on a regular Windows Server 2003 SP2.

    Thanks

    What does R2setup.log (I don't recall the exact name and I guess it is written to %temp%) say?

    Search for "return value 3" inside the logfile. The error should be listed right above of it.

    Yes, I see the error here within the log file:

    Insure the administrator account being used to install R2 is in the SMS Admins group on the site server and same for a remote provider machine. There is also an SMS Admins group on it as well.

    Yes I verified that account is in the SMS Admins group on the site server. I also verified the account has "site administer" permissions within the SCCM Admin console--security. I'm also checking the SQL server installation. Thanks.

    Debora, did you ever solve this issue?

    If not, are you installing a local or remote provider? If remote provider, please double check that administrator account being used for install is also in SMS Admins group on the provider machine.

    Thanks,
    Wil
