SBS 2k3 Unable to re-install SBSMonitoring Service/MSDE

Greetings.

Where I am at: SBS Monitoring has been completely removed via instructions
posted several times on this board (Setup/Maintenance/Remove, Uninstall MSDE
Monitoring, Delete registry keys, Delete IIS Virtual Directory, rename
folders). The re-installation of monitoring fails every time with a single
event log error. . .

"Source:MsiInstaller, Category:None, Type:error, EventID:1013
Description: Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine -- Setup failed to
configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error logs for
more information."

After checking the setup log in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server\Support\MSDE_SBSMonitoring.log the only part of it that seems
relevant to me is towards the end. . .

"Property(S): ProductToBeRegistered = 1
=== Logging stopped: 4/15/2005 16:45:42 ===
MSI (s) (88:E4): Note: 1: 1708
MSI (s) (88:E4): Product: Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine --
Installation operation failed."

.. . .followed by installation cleanup references.

Am approaching wits end as I either cannot seem to get any useful
information from Knowledge Base or Google.

Maybe try disabling your antivirus software before reinstalling...

Much to my chagrin I was failing to disable Anti-Virus services prior to
re-installation. Unfortunately doing so did not change my inability to
reinstall Monitoring services.

I do appreciate the included link to Google-Beta Groups tho. Was not aware
of that particular resource.

Any other suggestions?

Well, maybe some leads here... (especially KB320873 to remove an instance of
MSDE)

I'm afraid neither of those yeilded any joy either Merv.

There was no referenced instance of SBSMonitoring to get the instance number
to run the msizap utility against which by default meant there was no
instance to delete for SBSMonitoring to delete as remarked on in the link you
last provided.

Merv, I appreciate your efforts to date greatly!

Regards,

Erick

Ok. Time to start clutching at straws...

FIX: You cannot install MSDE 2000 if the Server service is not running

And stop the MSSQL$SBSMONITORING service before uninstalling SBS monitoring.

Server service installed and running throughout this process.

And when I uninstalled Monitoring services none of them would launch to
begin with (hence the re-installation) soooo. . . .

As always Merv - Thanks!

p.s. Any straws left?

After you uninstalled, but before you reinstalled, check:

\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\

and maybe delete the MSSQL$SBSMONITORING folder (if it's present). Then do
the reinstall.

Hey Merv!

Got pulled off for a bit to deal with some other things. I apologize for not
getting back to you. I have done all of the things you have suggested in a
variety of combinations all to no avail.

While not having the monitoring service or being able to repair/re-install
it is annoying, I do not think it is 'life-threatening' and am prepared to
just punt until such a time as I can do a full install of the os again
(shudder!).

I want to express my appreciation for the assistance you have provided to
date and I wish you well.

Kind Regards,

Erick Smith
