Installing SQL Server X64 on a 64-bit Operating System - problem with .NET framework package

Published 12 September 07 07:40 AM | SQL Master 

I have had problem when installing SQL Server 2005 on one of the 64-bit server, the error was:

There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information.

So as per the message I have looked in to the specified directory for the logs which is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files" and only error I could see is:

Error Code: 0x80070643 (1603)
Windows Error Text: Fatal error during installation. Source File Name: packageengine\installpackageaction.cpp

Eventually found that the media which is used to install SQL Server server components is corrupted, the Operations support is trying to install the server components using tools media. This problem occurs because the folders that contain the files that are required during the installation of SQL Server 2005 do not have a correct layout.

Further I recommend to download and install the "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x64)" before you proceed to install SQL Server software. ToDownlad the .NET version fo X64.
