When I try to install on XP platform I could not Install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.

There is no Notification Services being installed and ignored.

The following error occured:

Error - 2146233087

Error Message: Unknown Eroor 0 x 80131501

Error Description: MSDTC was unable to reach its configuration Information. ( Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004DOEF)

There after the Second CD is provoked but not accepting thereafter.

Can anybody solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm. I had a similar problem when installing SMSS 2005 on my work PC last year...have you installed IIS (required for reporting services)..that may be the snag.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Dunno..same thing happened to me before i remembered I had to install IIS first. Then it worked fine. Does it still fail after you install IIS?

I Have fixed on Control panel box on Add/ Remove Windows Wizard and re-Run the COM+ Components to fix.

Add/Remove Snap-in.

In the Add/Remove Snap-in window, Add.

Add Standalone Snap-in window, select Component Services from the list of snap-ins, and then click Add.

close the Add Stand-alone Snap-in window, close the Add/Remove Snap-in window.

In the Console Root\Component Services window, expand the Component Services tree. This is where any error message would occur if there was a problem with COM+.

(Here There is no Error Occured for me)

Run Setup again. If you get an error message, reinstall COM+.

(Here There is no Error Occured for me)

I dont have another CD but It is good set of 2 CD's.

Further Any Suggestions...........

Yes indeed !!!!!!! Couldn't resolve the issue with COM+ issue is all the hurdle for me to install the Developer edition.

I Dont have other set of CD's and they were absolutely perfect.

I have done all permutation and combinations for the absorption of COM+ issue.

Any problem if IGNORED COM+ and what are the repurcussions thereafter the installation.

I did everytime as It says the Intial READING of the COM+ is the root cause of the installation snag.

What I'll do in this case: reinstall mdac, reboot the machine then install sql again.
