SQL Server 2008 and SCE 2010
After much trouble installing SCE 2010 on a x32 server, I finally got it down. Basically it came down two servers. One of them has SQL Server 2008 x32 installed on it. The other I was going to use for the management server. On the SQL Server, I had all
the SQL Services to run as a domain account called "SQL" That was working for every application that holds a database there perfectly fine, then when trying to install SCE 2010, the install hangs on that stupid "Waiting for SDK Service to start" Thats what
it says in the log, and keeps repeating it until it gets to 800 some odd seconds. Finally after digging around I found a post that said SQL Services need to be ran under Local System. So I did that, and boom, it worked fine. However a problem remains, I need
the SQL Services to remain under the domain account. After the install, I tried to change the SQL Services back, and then SCE 2010 fails with crazy errors in the logs saying it can't connect to the database, blah blah. Help? :(

Hi,
Please ensure the account as enough privileges and try again by right clicking the setupSCE.exe and selecting Run as Administrator:

If the issue persists, please also try the following methods:
1. Adjust the Registry key ServicesPipeTimeout:
A service does not start, and events 7000 and 7011 are logged in Windows Server 2003

2. Apply the following hotfix:

3. Ensure the connection between the SCE server and SQL Server works and the firewall settings are proper:

Hope this helps.
