Last straw

Upgraded SQL 2005 to Dec CTP sp2. Had previously run Nov CTP and installed the Sharepoint add-in. Had that all working.

Now trying to add the Dec CTP sharepoint add-in. But it won't complete. Keeps rolling back and then ending with dialog '.... setup was interrupted'

Anyone else seeing problems with this Dec CTP install

I was geting the same error when I was trying to install under an user with not enough rights. I loged in with the local Administrator and the installation works well.

I¡¯m not sure it is the same scenario for you, but may be can help you ¡­

Thanks for the advice, but not a matter or permissions. Hmm, you said local admin, I have only tried domain accounts thus far. I'll try a local computer account and see what that does. Nope, no luck with that either. Very frustrating since I had the Nov CTP working and have my sharepoint 3.0 server running in integrated mode with reporting services. Since I put in the Dec CTP sp2 for SQL server, that is broken too.

I'd hate to reinstall since significant sharepoint structure was already in place.

I don't get a log in the C:\temp folder. And I'm running this from C:\temp in fact. It always 'rollsback' near the end of the install. I have tried using win installer cleanup to remove the previous CTP of this addin. No help. The CTP sp2 for SQL 2005 seemed to work fine.

the only newly created log file is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\LOGS and it's called WISMDCN6-20070108-0738.log. It's about 775 kb and so I don't want to paste it here. I also see several other files generated in the same folder right at the time of the aborted install. They are: datalast.dat; data024.dat; watsonrc.wat; data023.dat. Are any of these files of concern Is there some way to attach these files after zipping them. I cannot see pasting the contents of these large files into a message here.

I think that the install of December CTP sp2 did the same thing that the Nov CTP did to my WSS 3 install. Namely, made the website inaccessible. That is still true. I've not revisited the troubleshooting notes on Brian Welckers blog about this. Perhaps until I get this resolved I will have no hope of installing SharepointRS.msi

If I knew how to do attachments to forum messages I could also send along a couple of screenshots. Or should I just use your email address

I reviewed a half dozen previous logs from other failed attempts and they all have the same exact entries right up to the failure point.

Removing the <culture>.resx files did the trick. I was able to open my WSS 3.0 site again. And I drilled down into every document library I could find that had report builder or report data source document types. Could be I missed one. Here is the same error log I am still getting when running SharePointRS.msi. Apparently this is what leaves those <culture>.resx files in its wake. They were back and prevented the WSS 3 site from opening again.

Is there any way I can test to be absolutely sure I removed all the old reporting services document types

I tried once again after a very thorough removal of report types in document libraries. Still no go. Same error log as below and same problem with .resx files left behind.

thanks, and please stick with me to get this resolved.

Great! The forms server failed uninstall completely removed the sharepoint sites. I'd like to know how to recover the site now. I'm about ready to toss the December sp2 CTP out the window.
