I am trying to instal RC 4 on a fresh install of Windows. All patched and pre-requisites applied.

When installing SQL Server the installer fails.

The following error is shown in the event viewer:

Error 28001: The sa password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements

Any ideas??

Ended up doing a manual SQL Server install, works fine now!

It means that the pasword you provided was too easy and didn't met the policy requirement.

it can be a reason that the PC has the a Name like MediaPortal or MP....that also treat the MSSQL Policies

While you watch TV, drink in the pub and generally have a good time, Team MediaPortal are hard at work making MediaPortal better. So think about that before you make any complaints!
