Installing SQL server 2005 express

Hello,

I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.

But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.

However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.

I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Before you installing SQL Server Express, is your machine is a clean machine? If MSXML6 and SQLWriter are already installed, then they should not be installed again. So you can uninstall call components from Add/Remove Programs and reintall.
