prereqchk Fails to Run

Question

Sign in to vote

I have searched high and low and cannot figure out why all of a sudden I can't run the prereqchk EXE on my brand new Windows 2012 R2 server. I just see a quick black cmd window flash by and it doesn't run.

I installed VC++ Redist for x86/64.

Any ideas out there?

Yeah, I looked and thought this must be bogus. Why would SQL be needed for the PreReq check?

Lesson #1 when it comes to ConfigMgr: a single line is in 99% of all cases useless, because the context is missing.
The line you posted also just contains "info", not "warning" or "error". So please provide the complete log.

Ok, Mr. Lesson Teacher, that sounds wonderful, but the only high value piece of data in the log file is the SQL error I posted.

This has nothing to do with the actual tool not running itself. The Pre Req check tool doesn't even run, its incredibly bizarre.
