    Hi Umphie,

     

    Since the issue is mainly related to installing SQL Server 2008, you’d better post your question in SQL Forums for a specific solution. Here I would like  to propose the following common troubleshooting:

     

    1.        Turn off Windows Firewall and anti-virus software, reinstall SQL Server 2008 with administrator privilege.

    2.        View the “SystemConfigurationCheck_Report.htm” for detailed log, it is located in %\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.

    Best Regards

    Dale

    Try copying SQL Server installation files from DVD and installing it locally.

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    I've been trying to install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on Windows XP Pro SP3 with .NET 3.5SP1 and VS2008 installed and I'm getting the same error message.

    TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup
    ------------------------------

    The following error has occurred:

    Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

    Click 'Retry' to retry the failed action, or click 'Cancel' to cancel this action and continue setup.

    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=10.0.1766.0&EvtType=0xEF814B06%25400x08A3AE96

    ------------------------------
    BUTTONS:

    &Retry
    Cancel
    ------------------------------
    I've copied the entire CD on to my local hard drive and I'm installing it on my laptop and I'm logged in using a domain account with local admin rights. Can anyone please point me to the right direction?

     

    Many thanks!

    Can't believe this info is so hard to find...

     

    Just copy the install setup folder and files to C:\ and it will work flawlessly.
