DQS Installer error

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to install DQS and everything seems to be ok until the very end of process. I'm using Polish Win 7 and my account name contains Polish ANSI characters and this seems to be the issue, since installer extracts some files to c:\Users\.... :

Has anyone encountered this issue ? Maybe there is a workaround for this or maybe this path can be configured somehow ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

I'm agree with you, it seems that your name account is the problem. Maybe you could create a virtual machine with a different account and retry the installation there.

Answer 2

Hi Carlos,

It would be a solution, but I need it to run on this account. Maybe there is a way to specify where to extract those files (a configuration files or soemthing like that) ?

Regards

I think you might try something like this to override the temp variable (temporarily override it). Start a new command prompt as elevated administrator.

Use the SET command to first check, then override the default Temp path.

c:\>cd %temp%

Does it go here?

c:\Users\Micha+é.Becker\AppData\Local\Temp\>

Try to change it for the current command session:

MD C:\temp

SET TEMP=C:\temp

cd %TEMP%

-- does it point to C:\temp now??

Now try to run the installer...

cd "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MISIEK\MSSQL\Binn\"

DQSInstaller.exe

Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,

thanks for the insight but it did not work, temp folder was changed properly but installer still extracts files to this path and cannot access it. I think that installer somehow does not refer to temp path through environmental variable.

Answer 5

HI,

Found it, instead of changing TEMP path I had to change TMP path and it worked perfectly :) Thanks for all help here!

Michael

Answer 6

Glad that the similar technique worked.

SET TMP=C:\temp

Do you happen to know how did your accented user name get into the Windows profile path like that? Did you set it, or maybe a domain policy? Maybe Polish windows acts differently than my English windows.

I tried to reproduce the problem - I created an account Accént in Windows, but the folder name used by Windows is C:\Users\ACCNT~1\Local\Temp so I wasn't able to get a user profile folder whith the same problem as your account had.

Thanks, Jason

Answer 7

Hi Jason,

As I see it,  the problem is not with Windows user names ( by the way, Polish version allows those polish characters for user names) but with command line. It seems that command line does not accept ANSI characters ; I tried to use ansiconn but it seems that installer takes %USERPROFILE% variable and puts it into path for temporary files and during this process those ANSI characters are translated to UTF-8 format, and that is why installer produced this problem. This is just my assumption but it could be something completely different. If you think that this could be something different please share it here, it could help me with my other issue : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldataqualityservices/thread/da049282-f098-4003-a15f-ceea78c45ab9

Answer 8

I can repro the error easily just by putting an accented character in the TMP path. I was just trying to understand how your TMP got the accented character in it, because when I tried to make a similar account with accented character, the APPData used 8.3 short name instead of an accented character in my profile appdata location.

Easy repro of the error:

md C:\témp

SET tmp=c:\témp

cd "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLServer\MSSQL\Binn\"

DQSInstaller.exe
