Wenn die Installation von SQL Server 2008 Standard fehl schlägt, kann der Grund mitunter die vorherige Installation des MSXML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 sein. Das Problem trat auch schon bei SQL Server 2005 auf (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749)
Umgehen lässt sich das Problem indem die Insallation des MSXML Core Services 6.0 Service Pack 2 “versteckt”. Dies ist mit dem Tool “Windows Installer Clean Up” von Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) möglich, welches nur die Installationsinformationen entfernt, die installierten Dateien jedoch unberührt lässt. Genauere Informationen dazu finden sich unter http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749).
