cannot install sql server 2005 as SSL-certificate is missing

Hi there U all,

for the third time I am installing SQL-Server 2005 express and i have an error.

Cannot install sql because .NET 2.0 framework is missing allthough I have the .NET 2.0 framework allready installed and even re-installed it too. When trying again I get the message that there isn't an SSL-certificate present.

My question is, would this probably cause the error when installing?

Anyone?

Grtz and thx,

Hi Thomas,

It's hard to tell what the problem might be without an actual error message, but there are a number of questions about install errors related to IIS in the forums that you could search for. Here are a couple:

Cannot install SQL Express; peculiar error

SQL Express installation is bombing out with the "A beta version of the .NET Framework 2.0 or SQL Server was detected on the computer...".

From the log file:

Running: PerformSCCAction2 at: 2007/6/26 8:17:27
Loaded DLL:C:\WIN\system32\msi.dll Version:3.1.4000.2435
Product "{7131646D-CD3C-40F4-97B9-CD9E4E6262EF}" versioned 2.0 is not compatible with current builds of SQL Server.Expected at least version: 2.0.50727.42
The Product Name is ".NET Framework"

Now what is peculiar to me is that

1) this machine should have never had the beta software on it;

2) I have seen people with similar issues except their versioned info always said "versioned 2.0.50727" and the product guid is different, this one only says "2.0"; and

3) I thought that product guid was for the RTM 2.0.50727.42 release!

What is going on here and where is it getting this version information?
