Answer 1

Are you running as administrator ?

Do you have antivirus installed ?

there is problem installing SqlSupport msi due to insufficient permissions to write to registry.

Answer 2

yes i'm running as admin and eys I have Kaspersky installed.

I've insalled SQL Server 2008 Express R2 and SQL Server 2008 Express Management Studio successfully though.

Answer 3

This is ISO image or DVD ?

can you copy it local and try to install from local disk, just to rule out the media corruption factor.

Answer 4

I copied it locally and it doesn't work, however I tried 2 times:

The first time:

I managed to reach feature selection but I had to cancel setup because Management Studio Express was installed. One thing to note is that the license agreement could be viewed!

The second time:

After uninstalling all SQL Server 2008 stuff I tried to install again. It crashed at the same place. However, the license agreement was not shown and click Next just the same!! Weird!!

Answer 7

Seems you have more than one instance of setup program running in the background

can you run task manager go to processes and see how many instance are running from scenarioengine.exe and setup100.exe ?

can you restart the machine and start installation from command prompt(as adminstartor)

by running setup.exe /Action=Install

there were 2 instances of setup.exe, 1 of setup100.exe and none of scenarioengine.exe.

is there a way to force a 32bit install although my machine is 64bit?

Answer 9

yes, from command prompt (run as Administrator)

run 

setup.exe /Action=Install /x86

Hi Cryo,

The log is located at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\. To find errors in the summary text file, search the file by using the "error" or "failed" keywords.
How to view and read SQL Server Setup Log Files: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.105).aspx.

From your log, I find some error messages:
Error: Action "PreMsiTimingConfigAction" failed during execution.
Error: Action "Install_SqlSupport_Cpu64_Action" failed during execution.
Error: Action "PostMsiTimingConfigAction" failed during execution.
Error result: -2068054013
Result error code: 3

It may be caused by corrupted media. You could refresh the media and attempt the installation again.

Refer to http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/642773/error-premsitimingconfigaction-during-ms-sql-server-2008r2-setup.

Answer 12

No. I've tried like a hundred times. Installing SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with tools works fine though :(

Answer 13

Hi Cryo,

Any progress?

Since you could install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with tools successfully, SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer would also be OK. It may be caused by corrupted SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer media.

Thanks,
Maggie

I gave up on trying it to install. I've also copied the DVD locally but it always fails at the same point.
