Install server2005 in LDAP machine problem: Found the problem and the solution

Hi all,

I installed June CTP on server with (already) SQL 2000 and LDAP (the idea is to check if 2005 and 2000 are good friends).
after installation I start to retrieve Errors from the LDAP: "Automation error The authentication mechanism is unknown." (error 2147016662)

more info about the proccess that failed:
ASP file (IIS5) create object (mine dll).
mine dll try to connect LDAP and retrieve data from user.

The proccess fail when it try to connect the LDAP (I debug it).

more then it: when I create the dll from VB6, every thing gone great.

Any Idea?Just to let you know:

The problem was COM+ issue.
Some how the installation couse my COM+ application to stop working (or work with limited security owner).

I build new COM+ Application, moved all my dlls to the new one, and it work.

Install Issue with September CTP

Hi All,
I am able to install completely without getting errors. However, when I try to start the SQL Server Services, I am getting error - "Could not start the SQL Server Service on Local Computer". I searched further and find it odd that there's no such folder name "MSSQL.1" under Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. I believe sqlservr.exe runs under this directory, so could someone explain to me why would my install be completed without this directory?

Your help is much appreciated!

Install Error with Sept CTP

Hi all,
I am running into install error when prompted "PLEASE INSERT DISC
2" when I am installing with virtual drive using Daemon Tools instead of from
CD or DVD. I am a Universal MSDN Download Subscriber, but apparently MSDN don't support install issue with beta version of their product. I am stuck with not able to use this app, and any help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
-Lawrence
Lawrence, A possible problem is that you didn't notice that some builds of Sept CTP come as two separate images - Server and Tools. I assume you downloaded Server only. Andrew Watt MVP - InfoPath wrote in message news:4aa66c60-7142-4d86-ba1c-77895be5c54d@.discussions.microsoft.com...

|||To be clear, there are two files you need to download:

Disk1: en_SQL2005_DEV_Servers_Sept2005.iso
Disk2: en_SQL2005_DEV_Tools_Sept2005.iso

You need both of them.|||Great! I did not know Tools ISO would also be needed together with the Server ISO. Typically installation uses one ISO, and Server contains all necessary components. Was that mentioned in MSDN that Tools is also required? This has caused considerable confusion.

Thanks for your assistance!

Install Client Management Tool in WinXP Professional with SQL2005 CTP

SQL server 2005 was installed successfully with SQL2005 CTP CD(Enterprise edition). However, I tried to install Client Management Tool in my WinXP Professional desktop, it stated that incompatibility of OS. Does it mean that I can only install client management tool in WinXP profession with CTP for other editions except enterprise one? Thanks in advance.

Yep, you hit a bug. We've fixed this. The work around is to pull down one of the other Editions.
