Installation of SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine hangs-up
when half way through
Symptoms
Resolution
Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine begins as usual with the
progress bar periodically showing changes. About half way through the process, the
progress bar stops changing and the disk drive becomes silent. The dialog box remains
stuck with the message:
Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine. Time
remaining: 59 seconds.
(The time remaining varies from computer to computer.)
The installation process cannot upgrade the Microsoft Distributed Access Components
(MDAC) when any of the files are in use. This includes the ODBC components and the
OLE DB components. Be sure that no background processes are using these files.
Usually, restarting your computer just prior to installation is an effective way to stop any
background processes from using any of these components. Additional diagnostic
information is available from the log file located at:
C:\Program Files\Compleat Botanica\DesktopEngine
\Setup\CBDesktopEngine.log
