Error when starting SQL Server Analysis Services

Question

Hi.

I've installed Powerpivot for Sharepoint on an existing Sharepoint 2010 server. When I try to start the SQL Server Analysis Services under the Service on the Server section I get the following error: 

The PowerPivot solution that is associated with the PowerPivot System Service is invalid or does not exist 

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation. 

Correlation ID: e12f0f9f-43a2-4255-a484-776734b63136 

I've googled this and had no luck finding an appropriate solution.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Have you installed all of the RTM products on a fresh install of Windows OS?

If not this could be your issue - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlkjpowerpointforsharepoint/thread/89962cb0-46ec-4dd6-82ad-b7f3b86a996c.
