    I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 Express R2 (64bit) on a laptop for some training I am doing on a laptop running Windows 7 Professional SP1.

    I have Admin rights on laptop with 8gb ram using I7 processor - plenty of Hard Drive Space - it passes all of the pre-checks during installation, but I keep getting the following errors(from log file):

     Final result:                  SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup.
      Exit code (Decimal):           -1706970590

    Feature:                       Database Engine Services
      Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
      MSI status:                    Passed
      Configuration status:          Failed: see details below
      Configuration error code:      0x9A41B222

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the thread - the issue was the machine name and user name were the same. Once I changed the machine name everthing installed fine.

    Your assistance is very much appreciated.

    But it would be better (especially for other users who are looking for an answer on a similar question) that you don't mark your own posts as answer ;-)

    Sorry I marked the wrong area - again, pointing me to the area that you did was a big help.

     

    Thanks again

    Is there any possibility to have it working without renaming computer name or user name? Thanks.
