Install Error SQL 2005

jjstein · 2009-07-04, 00:45

I am trying to install on XP Media Center; about halfway through, an error dialog pops up, saying:

MediaPortal Deploy Tool -- Error
Failed to install application [MS SQL Express 2005]

When I click OK, the installation terminates.

Please advise.

I am having the same error on my Vista machine that installed before with no problems.

Install SQL 2005 Express before installing MP.

Ref MP Documentation for link to download and instructions for installation.

I found out what it was. SQL 2005 was uninstalled, but its folder was still in program files and that prevents it from being installed again. You just have to delete that folder before you can install it again.
