Hi,

I'm running into a problem with trying to install SQL server 2005 Express edition on my PC. It fails during installation saying that it failed to setup the server. It's not giving me any error messages, just that it failed to setup the server. Any help on how to fix this? The PC is using Windows XP Pro with Svc Pk 2, Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz processor with 512 mB of Ram. I have .Net 2.0 loaded as well.

Thanks!

There should be a setup log - does that say anything?
Also what is the name of the install file?
