PROBLEM INSTALLING SQL SERVER EXPRESS

Hi,

I successfully installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition and but the SQL Server component did not get installed.

12:37:11 AM Sunday, April 09, 2006: [Fail] ConfigSamplesDll_DoTasks:: [Fail] Config_SSE_INST_Install: SQL Express service install (failed). The process did not return a success value. ExitCode: 1282 Command: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Oluwaseyi Awoga\Local Settings\Temp\SQLEXPR32.exe -q /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all SCCCHECKLEVEL=IncompatibleComponents:1 instancename=SQLEXPRESS'.

I keep getting this error. Can anybody help me? I have uninstalled and installed ALL versions of the .NET framework etc several times. Thanks

This is also the error signature. Thanks for your help.

Error Signature:
EventType : BEX P1 : setup.exe P2 : 2005.90.1399.0 P3 : 434f6403

I'm going to move this to the SQL Setup forum.

I don't believe 1282 is a Setup error code; it's probably a Windows error code. 1282 translates to stack buffer overflow. We did fix one or two such issues a long time back. If the version of Express you're trying to install is pre-RTM then please download the RTM version or the remastered Express SP1 which should be available soon, and try again. If you're already trying with RTM then I suspect we're going to need to see the complete SQL Install logs to debug your problem.
