After installing SQL Server 2008 successfully I went back to install the BI option. I get an error after most of it has completed...Interestingly enough it's actually there but given the failure I'm concerned about issues. Can anyone help?

Hi, Just as the logs said, please look into the detail log which is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20101012_162158\Detail.txt and post them here so that we can do further research. In addition, i would recommand you read this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955396 on how to troubleshoot sql server 2008 setup issue. thanks, Jerry

Well I actually tried to post the detail log but it wouldn't let me do it due to size of the content. I don't want to see like an idiot but is there a way to attach the file instead of dumping the contents into this box? In the meantime I will read your suggested article. Thanks! Nathan

Ok..obviously all I had to do was go to the bottom to find the failure.......It appears it's looking for a Visual studio file that it can't find....any ideas? 2010-10-12 16:52:13 Slp:

Well I finally figured it out and after looking back (as always) it was quite simple. I had previously deinstalled Visual Studio 2008 (at least I thought I had) and physically removed the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0. However there was one remaining item named "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 - ENU" in the Control Panel Add/Remove programs, which I had not removed because I thought it belonged to my Visual Studio 2005 installation. So, when SQL Server 2008 BI installation ran, it found it was installed but then couldn't find the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\vsta.exe because I had removed the folder and contents. I deinstalled "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 - ENU". I then deinstalled SQL Server 2008 BI option and Managment Tools option successfully. And then I re-installed SQL Server 2008 BI option and Managment Tools options SUCCESSFULLY!
