    There are following folders at

    . 20081215_161950

    . 20081215_162055

    . Watson_1

    and only 20081215_162055 folder has the file SystemConfigurationCheck_Report.htm

    The other folders under 20081215_162055 are

    . Datastore

    . Datastore_ComponentUpdate

    . Datastore_GlobalRules

    . resources

    Now when I click on setup.exe i get the error "Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 has to be installed.." as mentionedin first post.

    Since the installation doesn't start, i guess we don't have fresh log(todays date log)

    pls suggest

    There should be a bootstrap log for every attempt at performing an installation.

    You have attempted a reinstallation of .NET 3.5 SP1?

    Do you also have .NET 2.5 installed?

    i have tried uninstall/install of .Net framework 3.5 and SP1 both.

    I don't see any other log in C:\Program files\Microsoft SQL server folder,

    The error description is for 3.5, why do we need 2.5 ?

    I find it odd there is no bootstrap log. There is nothing in the event logs either?

    As for 2.5, there's a chance that an install of that will help resolve your issue.

    I believe there is no 2.5. We have .Net fram 2.0 which is already present in my box

    I believe there is no 2.5. We have .Net fram 2.0 which is already present in my box

    If your operation system is WinXP then, first install SP3 and install SQL Server. I found similar type of problem in my office, I did installed XP service pack and then installed SQL Server, it's working fine.

    for more info, see the below link:

    Again, logs?

    It doesn't just bomb without telling you why somewhere.

    It would be a new log, not an update of the old.

    that's what i am updating you it's not there. Strange...

    I just click on the exe and it pops up message that "Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 installation failed, SQL server setup requires .NET framework 3.5 to be installed"

    Please note i have both .net framework 3.5 and it's SP1 installed on box

    Other Details

    Other then this i have VS.Net 2008 and it's SP1

    Windows XP Professional with SP3

    SQL server 2005

    Also, once again, I tried installing SQL server 2008 before, it was installaing and failed in between giving error that VS.Net 2008 SP1 is required.

    I have installed that. One more thing, in the first go whatever installed on box with respect to SQL server 2008, i uninstalled it and started fresh and getting error.

    You have SQL server 2005 installed, if you want to use SQL Server 2008 try to upgrade using the installation of 2008. If upgrade not working, what I normally do is:-

    1) Uninstall SQL Server 2005

    2) Remove all the folder of SQL Server 2005

    3) Remove all the SQL Server 2005 from the registry

    If DotNet giving you problem, try to uninstall and use the DotNet Cleanup Tools to clean the DotNet. Again remove everything included the folder and from registry as well.

    Make sure you have a clean PC without any of the above program then start all the installation again. Make sure you follow the sequence and install all the necessary program that required by SQL Server 2008

    ritech.saluja - It is of small condolence to you, but I experience the same problem you are having. It was due to having previously installed the BETA release of net framework 3.5 .... Researched the web using Google "net framework 3.5 cleanup tool" and selected AAron Stebner's cleanup tool http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/08/31/4678599.aspx

    after that downloaded the new framework 3.5 - installed it and then installed SP-1 for it.

    Then in what was my seventh attempt the Developer edition of SQL Server 2008 finally installed. Be patient on my system Windows XP with all updates -- it took over an hour to complete the install.

    Hope this helps - either works or does not work please post your results to possibly help other.

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
