@MOE : Thanks, I found that article and tried that before I posted here and couldn’t make it to work.
@KH : Thanks, I couldn’t find it only SQL Server VSS Writer, but is there a SQL Sixbit service there even the program is not completely installed?
Tried at friends house yesterday and it installed with no problem, he is using Windows 7 Ultimate and I’m using Windows 7 Home Premium.
Was going to reset the computer to factory settings but I guess it won’t help much if it’s a common problem…
I’ll try some more today but I’m losing patience.
i mentioned i put a ticket in for u. i also pm john the owner (but he is not online yet) but if i remember correctly when i had a similar problem the very first time, on the remote session, they turned off my antivirus software while it was installing. if your friend does not have a good antivirus software program, then maybe thats why it installed there and not yours. just giving u options till you get an answer from support ticket[/quote]
Not sure but it could be firewall, I opened the port in cmd.exe in one of the attempts :
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name = SQLPort dir = in protocol = tcp action = allow localport = 1433 remoteip = localsubnet profile = DOMAIN
Also checked if drive is compressed, changed the computer name, tried manual install of SQL 2008 R2 for which I got the same error, tried multiple reboots before installation, if I remember some more that I did I’ll add…
Using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
