Problem installing SQL server 2005 express

When I try to install SQL Server 2005 Express I find that after a short time it discontinues and say's "Installation not completed etc" on looking at the logs it say.s "Could not find IIS" do I need XP Pro to be able to install SQL Server

Thanks in advance

Hi Teriel,

If you're installing a SQL Server 2005 Express with advanced service, it will try to install the Reporting Service to the machine, which requires IIS.

In this case, you can try to install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition instead.

HTH. If this does not answer you question, please feel free to mark it as Not Answered and post your reply. Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

Many thanks for your kind assistance, the version I had problems with had "X86" after it's name, I downloaded and installed a copy with just "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" and it has installed with no problems, thank you again.Big Smile

Teriel
