Hi thanks for reading,
I posted this question on multiple locations. Apologies for the redundancy.
My system: Genuine WinXP Pro SP3 32bit
Problem description: I'm installing a software that itself installs a SQL 2008 R2. Just at the end of the SQL server installation it fails. Apparently it got something to do with server health check (GetSqlServerProcessHandle). It fails but I don't know
why. Without installation of the SQL server I cannot install my program.
Steps taken to fix it (in vain):
-validated the executable
-endless numbers of reinstalls of the relevant program
-made sure i have the right permissions; it could apparently be a debugging issue
Why could the health check fail? Is there a way to bypass it?
How can I solve this problem? I feel like I have exhausted every option to my disposal, and I feel very frustrated. Thanks for your help!
Here are relevant lines from the Details.txt log that is produced during the installation. I changed the name of the sql server to MYSERVER
