In a follow-up to my post on SQL Server migration options I decided to download and try out MS SQL Server Express Beta 2.
The program downloaded no problem but the SQL Server 2005 Express error code 3417 came up on installation: (Click to enlarge)
I checked various newsgroups and ensured that all the requisite components were uninstalled before starting. I installed the .Net Framework 2.0 as recommended on the SQL Server 2005 Express download page – all to no avail.
It is either due to my installing it on a Windows XP SP2 OS or the fact that my copy of Windows XP SP2 is installed on my Apple Powerbook using Virtual PC!
I guess the chances are that it doesn’t like the hardware but I already have Visual Studio .Net, SQL Server Enterprise Manager and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition all installed and running fine on it. Maybe when Beta 3 is released – or maybe I’ll just look into another db!
